Description:
------------
ResourceBundle::create and ResourceBundle::getLocales  methods (and their respective functions) are vulnerables to stack buffer overflow when bundlename parameter length is equal or close to 0x7fffffff, due to a type confusion in CharString::ensureCapacity at libicu.

PHP could mitigate this issue by checking that the bundlename parameter is not bigger than PHP_MAXPATHLEN constant before calling libicu.

	int entry_len;
	UEnumeration *icuenum;
	UErrorCode   icuerror = U_ZERO_ERROR;

	intl_errors_reset( NULL );

	if( zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "s", &bundlename, &bundlename_len ) == FAILURE )
	{
		intl_error_set(NULL, U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR,
			"resourcebundle_locales: unable to parse input params", 0);
		RETURN_FALSE;
	}

	if(bundlename_len == 0) {
		// fetch default locales list

Type confusion at CharString::ensureCapacity 

CharString::ensureCapacity is vulnerable to type confusion, which may cause finally stack buffer overflow.
We think that "capacity" parameter should be defined as unsigned or size_t.

Source code:
release-58-rc/source/common/charstr.cpp:87

UBool CharString::ensureCapacity(int32_t capacity,
                                 int32_t desiredCapacityHint,
                                 UErrorCode &errorCode) {
    if(U_FAILURE(errorCode)) {
        return FALSE;
    }
    if(capacity>buffer.getCapacity()) {  // When capacity is negative, this validation return false
        if(desiredCapacityHint==0) {
            desiredCapacityHint=capacity+buffer.getCapacity();
        }
        if( (desiredCapacityHint<=capacity || buffer.resize(desiredCapacityHint, len+1)==NULL) &&
            buffer.resize(capacity, len+1)==NULL
        ) {
            errorCode=U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR;
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
    return TRUE;
}

PoC through PHP bindings (currently we have reported to PHP too, because they can also mitigate the problem)

<?php

ini_set('memory_limit', -1);

$v1="hi";
$v2=str_repeat("/", 0xffffffff/2);
resourcebundle_create($v1,$v2);
