Description:
------------
Test case: ext/phar/tests/phar_setsignaturealgo2.phpt has a core dump on Big-Endian platform.

The Problem code is in "ext/phar/util.c":

1880
1881                         if (!EVP_SignFinal (md_ctx, sigbuf,(unsigned int *)&siglen, key)) {
1882                                 efree(sigbuf);
1883                                 if (error) {
1884                                         spprintf(error, 0, "unable to write phar \"%s\" with requested openssl signature", phar->fname);
1885                                 }
1886                                 return FAILURE;
1887                         }
1888
1889                         sigbuf[siglen] = '\0';    // siglen is out of boundary, leads to a core dump
1890                         EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(md_ctx);

Debugger shows:
(gdb) p siglen
$1 = 549755814016

The reason is that "siglen" is defined as "size_t" (unsigned long), but in line 1881, when calling "EVP_SignFinal", it is cast-ed to "unsigned int" by pointer, which means to take the first 4 bytes in passing to "EVP_SignFinal".
This is not a problem on Little_Endian platform, but has an issue on Big_endian platform, and caused the returned "siglen" in a large value.

One of the solution is to define "siglen" as "unsigned int" instead of "size_t".





Test script:
---------------
./sapi/cli/php run-tests.php -P ext/phar/tests/phar_setsignaturealgo2.phpt



Expected result:
----------------
"siglen" should be returned as an index value.

Actual result:
--------------
(gdb) p siglen
$1 = 549755814016   // wrong index value
