Although the issue was demonstrated using Curl, the issue is purely in
the streams layer of PHP.
Full analysis is written in GH-11078 [1], but here is the brief version:
Here's what actually happens:
1) We're creating a FILE handle from a stream using the casting mechanism.
This will create a cookie-based FILE handle using funopen.
2) We're reading stream data using fread from the userspace stream. This will
temporarily set a buffer into a field _bf.base [2]. This buffer is now equal
to the upload buffer that Curl allocated and note that that buffer is owned
by Curl.
3) The fatal error occurs and we bail out from the fread function, notice how
the reset code is never executed and so the buffer will still point to
Curl's upload buffer instead of FILE's own buffer [3].
4) The resources are destroyed, this includes our opened stream and because the
FILE handle is cached, it gets destroyed as well.
In fact, the stream code calls through fclose on purpose in this case.
5) The fclose code frees the _bs.base buffer [4].
However, this is not the buffer that FILE owns but the one that Curl owns
because it isn't reset properly due to the bailout!
6) The objects are getting destroyed, and so the curl free logic is invoked.
When Curl tries to gracefully clean up, it tries to free the buffer.
But that buffer is actually already freed mistakingly by the C library!
This also explains why we can't reproduce it on Linux: this bizarre buffer
swapping only happens on macOS and BSD, not on Linux.
To solve this, we switch to an unbuffered mode for cookie-based FILEs.
This avoids any stateful problems related to buffers especially when the
bailout mechanism triggers. As streams have their own buffering
mechanism, I don't expect this to impact performance.

In the test cases, the compiler bails out due to a fatal error.
The data structures used by the compiler will contain stale values.
In particular, for the test case CG(loop_var_stack) will contain data.
The next compilation will incorrectly use elements from the previous
stack.
To solve this, we reset part of the compiler data structures.
We don't do a full re-initialization via init_compiler() because that will
also reset streams and resources.
Closes GH-13938.
Commit 5cbe5a538c disabled chunking for all writes to streams. However,
user streams have a callback where code is executed on data that is
subject to the memory limit. Therefore, when using large writes or
stream_copy_to_stream/copy the memory limit can easily be hit with large
enough data.
To solve this, we reintroduce chunking for userspace streams.
Users have control over the chunk size, which is neat because
they can improve the performance by setting the chunk size if
that turns out to be a bottleneck.
In an ideal world, we add an option so we can "ask" the stream whether
it "prefers" chunked writes, similar to how we have
php_stream_mmap_supported & friends. However, that cannot be done on
stable branches.
Closes GH-13136.
php_strip_url_passwd modifies url in-place. We cannot assume from
php_message_handler_for_zend that data is a temporary, modifiable string.
Fixes oss-fuzz #64209

Prior to the 8.1 rewrite, inet_aton was used for ipv4 addresses
therefore addresses like `0` passed.
For the bindto's case where both ip and port are set as such, we discard
the address binding.
