Description:
------------
When we set "From" field by setting ini setting "from", which is used for "ftp" and "http" file wrapper, it can inject an arbitrary string in the raw socket message.

Since the injected string can contain CR-LF sequence(\r\n), this can be used to interrupt the flow of FTP stream or injecting/smuggling an outgoing HTTP request.

I attached an accepted message using netcat in listening mode (nc -l)

This is caused by missing checking CNTRLs in both of http_fopen_wrapper.c and ftp_fopen_wrapper.c

-- ftp_fopen_wrapper.c:266 --
php_stream_printf(stream, "PASS %s\r\n", FG(from_address));

must be checked using PHP_FTP_CNTRL_CHK before calling printf

and

-- http_fopen_wrapper.c:550 --
smart_str_appends(&req_buf, FG(from_address));

also must be checked with some logic before appending





Test script:
---------------
<?php

ini_set("from", "Hi\r\nInjected: I HAVE IT");
file_get_contents("http://localhost:3500");

Expected result:
----------------
Should be failed

Actual result:
--------------
Listening on 0.0.0.0 3500
Connection received on 127.0.0.1 38882
GET / HTTP/1.1
From: Hi
Injected: I HAVE IT
Host: localhost:3500
Connection: close
