- --- 0.Description ---
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language originally designed for web
development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is
embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server
with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. It
also has evolved to include a command-line interface capability and can
be used in standalone graphical applications.

ZipArchive
This extension enables you to transparently read or write ZIP compressed
archives and the files inside them.


- --- 1. PHP 5.3.6 ZipArchive invalid use glob(3) ---
Functions like addGlob and addPattern are not described in
documentation. Anyway we can call to ZipArchive::addGlob and
ZipArchive::addPattern in PHP 5.3.6

http://pl2.php.net/manual/en/class.ziparchive.php

let's see ext/zip/php_zip.c

531 if (0 != (ret = glob(pattern, flags & GLOB_FLAGMASK, NULL,
&globbuf))) {
...
1629 /* 1 == glob, 2==pcre */
1630 if (type == 1) {
1631 if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "s|la",
1632 &pattern, &pattern_len, &flags, &options) == FAILURE) {
1633 return;
1634 }
1635 } else {
1636 if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "s|sa",
1637 &pattern, &pattern_len, &path, &path_len, &options) == FAILURE) {
1638 return;
1639 }
1640 }
1641

invalid &flags may provide to crash. To use flags like GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC,
we should first declare gl_opendir, gl_closedir, gl_lstat, gl_stat. In
PHP we only have

508 glob_t globbuf;
...
530 globbuf.gl_offs = 0;
531 if (0 != (ret = glob(pattern, flags & GLOB_FLAGMASK, NULL,
&globbuf))) {

for addglob() there are no GLOB flags validation like in php/glob().
Only flags like
GLOB_MARK|GLOB_NOSORT|GLOB_NOCHECK|GLOB_NOESCAPE|GLOB_BRACE|GLOB_ONLYDIR|GLOB_ERR
should be allowed:

- - GLOB_MARK - Adds a slash to each directory returned
- - GLOB_NOSORT - Return files as they appear in the directory (no sorting)
- - GLOB_NOCHECK - Return the search pattern if no files matching it were
found
- - GLOB_NOESCAPE - Backslashes do not quote metacharacters
- - GLOB_BRACE - Expands {a,b,c} to match 'a', 'b', or 'c'
- - GLOB_ONLYDIR - Return only directory entries which match the pattern
- - GLOB_ERR - Stop on read errors (like unreadable directories), by
default errors are ignored.

to get other crash point, change 0x39 to 0x40 or use addPattern() with
special crafted zip files.

- ---addPattern()---
$nx=new
ZipArchive();$nx->open("empty.zip");$nx->addPattern(str_repeat("A",1));
