Description:
------------
I'm using the latest version of PHP7 master from git compiled on Windows 7 with Visual Studios 2015. The database is MS SQL Server 2014.

I have compiled FreeTDS and the pdo_dblib support, which works fine except, after several executions of a prepared insert statement (that may contain UTF-8 characters) a segmentation fault or corrupted SQL query occurs.

The error seems to be only reproducible when sending UTF-8 characters.

After stepping through the application I have noticed in the file:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/pdo_dblib/dblib_driver.c
in function:
dblib_handle_quoter()
The quoted string allocation uses emalloc(). This seems to randomly return a pointer to a previously allocated quoted string. This has caused both corrupted queries and segmentation faults. 
I checked out the code for the other pdo drivers and they use safe_emalloc() when allocating quoted strings. When I changed the dblib_handle_quoter() function to use safe_emalloc() instead of emalloc() the problem goes away.

Test Script:

Might be related to BUG #67495

Also noticed in PHP 5.16 code they use safe_emalloc() in the dblib_handle_quoter() function.

I have changed the test script to not use utf-8 chars but instead just pass a 0 and same segmentation fault occurs during allocation.

I can confirm that this problem also exists on OSX with FreeTDS 0.95.21 and I can also confirm that the attached patch solves the crash.

Also, the backtraces in lldb are all over the place depending on how the PHP code looks, but the crash is always in emalloc().

We have the same issue here. The code works perfectly with PHP 5.6 but in PHP 7 it breaks. What do something like that :

- Create PDO object
- Make a prepared statement (EXEC a Stored Proc with 16 parameters)
- Bind params with ->bindValue
- Execute (returns data correctly)
- Make an other prepared statement (EXEC same Stored Proc, I know I could reuse the same statement, but I've been able to produce this bug that way)
- Bind params with ->bindValue
- Execute (it crashes, sometimes segfault, sometimes the query gets truncated and fails on SQL Server)

The provided patch fix this bug

Well, I wrote too fast, we're still having issues with this, even with the patch :-/

This is very likely a duplicate of #71943 which is fixed in 7.0.6
