Description:
------------
The multi-byte regex engine oniguruma, when handling malformed regular expressions, would write out-of-bound, usually leading to a heap corruption. When the regex is from network, this potentially would lead to a remote RCE.

Tested on both 5.6.30 and 7.1.5, on 32-bit and 64-bit builds in Ubuntu Linux.

The following are shown on bin/php 64-bit build with -fsanitize=address, --enable-mbstring

Some of the repros are attached.

Test script:
---------------
$ cat regex.php 

<?php

$argc = $_SERVER['argc'];
$argv = $_SERVER['argv'];
$dir_str = dirname(__FILE__);
$file_str = ($dir_str)."/".$argv[1];
echo "Input file: ".$file_str."\n";
if (!extension_loaded('mbstring')) print "mbstring not loaded.\n";
if (!function_exists('mb_ereg_replace')) print "mb_ereg_replace() is not available\n";
$mb_str = file_get_contents($file_str);
print strlen($mb_str) . " bytes read.\n";

echo "*** Testing mb_ereg_replace() ***\n";
echo mb_ereg_replace($mb_str, "\\1", "a\\2bxc");

?>

Expected result:
----------------
No crash.

Actual result:
--------------
A minimal repro that gives a SEGV in next_state_val() by corrupting 1-bit with a large index, on Ubuntu x86_64:

regparse.c:4087	      BITSET_SET_BIT(cc->bs, (int )(*vs));

There are two issues in this report, which seems already fixed in the Oniguruma library, but not in the PHP stable releases:

1) Incorrect handling of single byte char goto in parse_char_class() leads to heap corruption. Addressed upstream by "fix invalid goto in parse_char_class() #21": 

https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma/commit/1ca27efa21d3a87993af1ee80bbad7500a51b2e7

2) Incorrect handling of return value from code_to_mbclen() leads to heap corruption. 3-byte short sequences like "\x5b\xfe\x30" or "\x5b\xff\x30" can both trigger the issue. The code_to_mbclen() function in ext/mbstring/oniguruma/enc/utf8.c returns 1 for '\xfe' and '\xff' as invalid code, while the return value is misinterpreted and single byte followed by sign extension, resulting in "\xfe\xff\xff\xff" on 32-bit or "\xfe\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff" on 64-bit. The 32-bit case results in heap corruption. Seems addressed upstream by "disable USE_INVALID_CODE_SCHEME for fix #18": 

https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma/commit/44ed4a8364eecdc220316a90013d2a25afea6b80

Please consider updating to the latest Oniguruma.

Both commits are contained in Oniguruma 6.1.0, and PHP-7.2 (the
lowest supported release branch) has Oniguruma 6.1.2, so this
ticket can be closed.
