Description:
------------
Running Firebird 2.5, and trying to use PDO to run a few queries, I ran into 
memory corruption. I've tested the same code on a few other DBMSs via PDO and they 
run fine, so it seems related to the Firebird PDO module. It also doesn't happen 
on every table structure. For example, I tried a table consisting of a single 
integer field and the error wasn't triggered. Playing with the script a bit, it 
eventually output: zend_mm_heap corrupted

The structure for the table in the example script can be found here: 
https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/blob/release-
3.0.10/phpBB/install/schemas/firebird_schema.sql#L1319

Test script:
---------------
<?php
try
{
	$dbh = new PDO('firebird:host=localhost;dbname=C:\\phpbb_test_data\\tests.fdb', 'SYSDBA', 'masterkey');
	for($i = 0; $i < 5000; $i++)
	{
		$statement = $dbh->prepare('INSERT INTO "PHPBB_USERS" ("USER_ID", "USERNAME", "USERNAME_CLEAN", "USER_PERMISSIONS", "USER_SIG", "USER_OCC", "USER_INTERESTS") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)');
		$statement->execute(array (0 => '2', 1 => 'banned', 2 => 'banned', 3 => '', 4 => '', 5 => '', 6 => ''));
		echo 'Statement run: ' . $i . "\n";
	}
}
catch (PDOException $e)
{
	echo 'Exception: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

Expected result:
----------------
The script should run 5000 times and exit cleanly.

Actual result:
--------------
The script runs through a few iterations and PHP crashes. Altercations to the 
script can make it run longer or shorter (without trailing ?> crashes in 2 
iterations, with it, crashes after 1998 iterations).

This first backtrace is from a 32bit Windows Server 2008 install running in a 
VirtualBox VM:

This problem appears to comes from the handling of blobs.  In the function firebird_bind_blob in firebird_statement.c we pass param in and are destroying it with zval_dtor.  I think we should not be destroying it because it was provided by firebird_stmt_param_hook and no other path destroys this variable.  

Commenting out the zval_dtor(param) line fixes the crashing.

I also don't think we need to call SEPARATE_ZVAL(&param) or convert_to_string_ex(&param) as param appears to always be a string regardless of what we bind.
 [2012-10-05 08:25 UTC] james at kenjim dot com
After further testing I've found that NULL zval's may be passed into firebird_bind_blob so convert_to_string_ex needs to be called or a check for NULL param needs to be done before calling Z_STRLEN_P.
 [2012-10-16 03:08 UTC] paul dot ishenin at gmail dot com
I have a crash (0xc0000005 exception) when I execute a statement which inserts or 
updates blob and values are bind using bindValue(). But if I use bindParam() 
instead there is no crash. For example:

$q = Yii::app()->db->createCommand('INSERT INTO TEST (BL) VALUES (:bl)');
// this will crash $q->bindValue(':bl', bl, PDO::PARAM_LOB);
$q->bindParam(':bl', bl, PDO::PARAM_LOB); // this will not crash
$q->execute();

I can't reproduce this issue with the supplied test script, but
the reproducer of bug 73087 also exhibits this bug. James'
assessment is basically correct. Firstly, it should be noted that
the zval_dtor() is wrong; that should be zval_ptr_dtor(). But that
wouldn't solve the issue due to the aliasing of param. The actual
problem is indeed the SEPARATE_ZVAL(), which simply can't work
there. If the refcount is 1, SEPARATE_ZVAL() is a no-op, and
zval_ptr_dtor() would destroy the zval, albeit it is later used
elsewhere. The clean solution would be to make a copy of the zval,
so the convert_to_string_ex() can savely be applied, and to
destroy that copy later. However, it appears to me that there's no
need to use a copy at all, and that the convert_to_string_ex() can
nonetheless savely be applied (see attached patch
firebird_bind_blob).
