Description:
------------
The paths passed to the imagepng, imagejpeg, imagegif, imagewebp and imagewbmp functions are not validated to not contain null bytes, and as such may allow paths to be prematurely terminated by an attacker.

This could be used to overwrite a file in a location other than the intended destination.

The attached patch will check for null bytes in the given path, and return false, raising a warning in the event a null byte is encountered.

Test script:
---------------
phpt tests are included in the patch.

Go ahead, 5.4+, not sure Johannes likes it in 5.3 too :)

I think the risk of exploiting this is quite small as it requires users to take unverified paths and the attacker can access only images of a specific type to which he also has to know the path (unless error reporting is switched on the attacker can't even distinguish between "file does not exist" and "file is not an image of that type")

Nonetheless the fix is quite trivial, so adding it to 5.3 looks fine.

Note on 5.3: In 5.3 we already have the check

 94         if (strlen(file) != file_len) {
 95             RETURN_FALSE;
 96         }

The issue was introduced with 5.4 while cleaning up stream usage after safe_mode removal. My previous comment on 5.3 can therefore be ignored.
