Description:
------------
Hello all,

We have found that some kind of JPEG files using exif_read_data causes segmentation fault, like the image below:
http://people.cs.nctu.edu.tw/~chenbc/php-mbstring-coredump.jpg

Our test environment has PHP exif and mbstring extensions enabled.
When only exif extension enabled, the scripts works fine.
but it cause segmentation fault while both exif and mbstring extension enabled.

Here are GDB trace results:

0x0000001003276b9d in mbfl_buffer_converter_new2 () from /usr/local/lib/php/20100525/mbstring.so

But in our environment, mbstring is needed for other programs use.
Is there any way to keep both exif and mbstring enabled, or how to skip errors while exif_read_data causes problems?

Thanks a lot

#!/usr/local/bin/php

We have encountered what I believe to be the same bug, although as I'm not 100% certain I just wanted to add my findings.

Our reproducible test case can be found here: http://bfarber.invisionzone.com/exif.zip

The zip contains an image that fails, as well as a small PHP script doing the following:

<?php

var_dump( exif_read_data( '50v.jpg', NULL, TRUE ) );

MBString is required in our software environment, so disabling it is not an option, but I did test and have confirmed that disabling mbstring allows exif_read_data to work normally.

I have duplicated this issue on CentOS, Amazon hosting and on Windows 7 using WAMP.  I have duplicated the issue with PHP 5.6.17 and 5.5.12.

This ticket appears to be a duplicate of bug #72618. At least I
can reproduce the segfaults with PHP 5.6.23, but not with 5.6.24.

So please try with PHP 5.6.24 or newer.
