Description

Description

The following code:

<?php
class mystream {
function stream_open($path, $mode, $options, &$opened_path) { return true; }
function stream_seek($offset, $whence) {
$this->pos = $offset; // SEEK_CUR with negative offset → negative pos
return true;
}
function stream_tell() { return $this->pos; }
}
stream_wrapper_register("test", "mystream");
$fp = fopen("test://foo", "rb");
fseek($fp, -1, SEEK_CUR);
fseek($fp, 0, SEEK_CUR);

Resulted in this output:

php: /home/phpfuzz/WorkSpace/flowfusion/php-src/main/streams/streams.c:1465: int _php_stream_seek(php_stream *, zend_off_t, int): Assertion `stream->position >= 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

To reproduce:

./php-src/sapi/cli/php  ./test.php

Research direction

Start with main/streams/streams.c, focusing on _php_stream_seek and the stream wrapper sequence in the report. Run ./php-src/sapi/cli/php ./test.php with the shown reproducer, then verify that seeking with the custom wrapper no longer triggers the position assertion or aborts.
