Looks like invalid filename is passed to phar, and this code:

        mydata->fname = expand_filepath(fname, NULL);
        fname_len = strlen(mydata->fname);

does not check that expand_filepath returns null. Since sending arbitrary paths to phar is insecure anyway, doesn't look like this is a security issue.

This problem should be considered a null pointer vulnerability, but the harm is relatively small, and can only cause a denial of service. Just like this vulnerability https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77020
 [2019-01-24 06:16 UTC] zhihua dot yao at dbappsecurity dot com dot cn 
Is this fixed?

Classifying as LOW severity, under the criterion:

> This issue allows theoretical compromise of security, but practical attack is usually ... extremely hard due to common practices or limitations that are virtually always present or imposed.

I recommend put patches into secret gist, this way you can share a link but it's hidden from people that do not know the link.
 [2019-02-13 05:23 UTC] bishop@php.net 
Agreed as workaround @stas, but would be nice if php/web-bugs had large keyspace public URL for patches.
