Submitted: 2019-02-04 07:57 UTC Modified: 2019-02-11 22:17 UTC

Description:
------------
Version
--------
PHP 7.4.0-dev (cli)
PHP 7.3.1

Description
-----------

This bug is caused by below lines of ext/exif/exif.c file's exif_process_IFD_TAG method.

...
case TAG_USERCOMMENT:
  ImageInfo->UserCommentLength = exif_process_user_comment(ImageInfo, &(ImageInfo->UserComment), &(ImageInfo->UserCommentEncoding), value_ptr, byte_count);
  break;
...

If the image has multiple exif comment tags, exif_process_IFD_TAG or exif_process_user_comment methods do not free already allocated memory
for ImageInfo->UserComment and ImageInfo->UserCommentEncoding, before setting new values.

Configure Line
---------------
./configure --prefix=/php/install --enable-cli --enable-exif --enable-debug --without-pear

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$img = fopen("php://memory","r+");
fwrite($img,hex2bin("ffd8e100464578696600004d4d002a0000000c000000000002928600010000000c00000026928600010000000c00000032554e49434f44450041414141554e49434f44450041414141"));
$s = exif_thumbnail($img);
?>


Actual result:
--------------
Valgrind Output
---------------
Source line numbers are from PHP 7.3.1
