Title:
Segfault (.bss overflow) in PCRE
Status in “pcre3” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
A bug in PCRE was fixed upstream. The issue is a segfault with a
pattern like /\x{300000}/ui, e.g.
pcregrep -ui '\x{300000}' < /dev/null
There was no bounds checking on access to some UCD character tables,
and insufficient bounds checking in \x character construction. The fix
was included in a commit that did a lot of other things:
http://vcs.pcre.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=774
but I have split out the relevant single-line fix for your
convenience. Patch attached.
