Description:
------------
Test script:
When you trying to input like php:// wrapper, You can see it will error by php://filter/.
I don't know why it's occur an error. so i just report this bug now.

if it's input by user (i mean, file_get_contents() function), it can be connection by security vulnerability.
in case, user are trying input to php://filter/ like that, the user are can make exploit to vuln maliciously.

Test script:
---------------
auth.php:
<?php
session_start(); // start session
$_SESSION['auth'] = true; // set auth variable to true value
file_get_contents("php://filter/"); // file_get_contents is have php://filter/
$_SESSION['auth'] = false; // set auth variable to false value
?>
----------------------------------------
auth_check.php:
<?php
session_start(); // start session
echo $_SESSION['auth']; // print auth variable
?>

Expected result:
----------------
It will stop by force. because file_get_contents("php://filter/") are occur an error.

Actual result:
--------------
This is occur an error and it can be break the code.

And what do you expect PHP to do about it? You are the one who wrote incorrect and unsafe code. Don't do that.
