Description:
------------
First of all, I apologize in advance for not upgrading and testing with the most recent vanilla version of PHP. I really think the bug likely exists in the most recent version and that I'm not wasting your time. I can raise this with RedHat if I must.

Version: (latest posted for CentOS 7)

The script (which is osticket v1.10 (osticket.com and github.com/osTicket/osTicket-1.8)) is processing an email using the `imap` PHP extension and processing a plain text PHP attachment. The bytes '0a20202020202a0a...' seem to occur in the attachment starting at byte offset 0x1048:

My initial inspection of phar.c source at https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.4.42/ext/phar/phar.c#L2153 is that it appears there is no check if `newpath_len` will exceed MAXPATHLEN, which is the size of `newpath` on the stack.

I will likely not be able to produce a script to trigger this as it appears that it is triggered from fetching this particular email via IMAP, but if necessary, I can try.


php.ini changes
---------------
We don't have anything serious changed in the ini file beyond `short_open_tag`, `max_execution_time` and `upload_max_filesize`. If there's something of interest, I can post it.
