Description:
------------
1. compile PHP 5.6.20 with ASAN
2. Run attached script on a while loop, sometimes you will get the ASAN crash.

  while true; do /home/fmunozs/phpgit/php56/sapi/cli/php -n jet.php ; done

if php_request_shutdown is called during the fscanf, ASAN reports a heap-use-after-free in some cases.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

set_time_limit(1);
$arr = []; for($i=0;$i<165536; ++$i) { $arr[$i]= "aa"; }
$var1=fopen("/dev/zero", "r");
$var2="AAA";
try{fscanf($var1, $var2);}catch(Exception $a) {}

Expected result:
----------------
No warning

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 1 second exceeded in /ramdisk/wtf/wtf/jet.php on line 7

Does not look like a security issue - specially crafted code that also makes little sense.

I can't ask my fuzzer to make sense :) but please take a look, it keeps appearing on my fuzzing session, seems to happen also if the shutdown occurs during fgetcsv call too.

PHP doesn't handle execution time-out gracefully.
In some cases it may cause crash on request shutdown.

exit_on_timeout=1 in php.ini should minimize the risk.

The only way to fix this properly - is delaying the actual signal handling until the safe place. E.g like PHP on Windows do, setting EG(timed_out) in signal handler, and checking it from time to time in interpreter. However, this approach won't interrupt long running internal functions.

Graceful execution time-out handling is implemented in PHP-7.1.
