Description:
------------
Pattern too long causes illegal memory access in zend_inline_hash_func, through mb_ereg function.

Source code:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/Zend/zend_string.h#L330

static zend_always_inline zend_ulong zend_inline_hash_func(const char *str, size_t len)
{
	zend_ulong hash = Z_UL(5381);

	/* variant with the hash unrolled eight times */
	for (; len >= 8; len -= 8) {
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
		hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + *str++;
	}
...

Stas, hirokawa does not have security permissions so he cannot see it even if you assign it (hence the re-assign).

Side note, perhaps we need a better way to deal with such based off $security_developers in bugs-web

I thought the person assigned automatically gets access to the ticket. If it's not so, it must be fixed - there's absolutely no reason to hide ticket from the person is was assigned to. I'll check the bugs code.

I'd ask to also not to assign all security issues to me since I use "Assigned" to handle issues I've already gone through, and if you assign them to me I'd think I already took care of them. If the person assigned can't handle it, and we don't have somebody who did commit to handle them or have handled them, please leave it unassigned. Otherwise it's hard to see which issues are being handled by whom.

This no longer reproduces for me, might have been fixed by https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/f9cfc029a58b4fd7c71e83f330a54d3cb2d905db.
