Description:
------------
ArrayIterator should not be changed while being sorted.
There is a check missing in unserialize method in spl_array.c .



Test script:
---------------
<?php
$it = new ArrayIterator(array_fill(0,10,'X'), 1 );

function badsort($a, $b) {
        $GLOBALS['it']->unserialize($GLOBALS['it']->serialize());
        return TRUE;
}

$it->uksort('badsort');

Expected result:
----------------
Warning: Modification of ArrayObject during sorting is prohibited in spl_array.php on line 5

Actual result:
--------------

Please use CVE-2014-4698 for this issue.
 [2014-07-05 12:09 UTC] research at insighti dot org
As per the other reported bug, same applies for this one:

Please use CVE-2014-4698, the bug is in fact exploitable - not sure why was it made public before release of a patched version.

It's not remotely exploitable, however, shared environments relying on PHP security features (open_basedir, safe_mode in older PHPs, disable_functions and similar) are affected. We're ready to provide PoC is needed.
