Description:
------------
I see no evidence that php.net is aware of this issue, but it seems known 
elsewhere (NetBSD pkgsrc reports 5.3.10 as vulnerable due to this bug, and 
refuses to install without an override)


See:


http://secunia.com/advisories/44335
http://0x1byte.blogspot.com/2011/04/php-phar-extension-heap-overflow.html


"The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error within the phar 
extension in the "phar_parse_tarfile()" function (ext/phar/tar.c) and can be 
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted TAR 
file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 5.3.6. Other versions may also be 
affected."

Patch looks good too and builds fine. Maybe add a comment to say that filename_len 
and uncompressed_filesize are uint32 as it may not be obvious (< 0 or >= checks 
instead :).

Is there a particular reason why the CVE name wasn't mentioned in the changelog?
 [2012-06-14 23:43 UTC] felipe@php.net 
I've added it to the changelog. (in some minutes it'll appears in the site)

Thanks.

Why did we not simply use safe_pemalloc() here?
