Subject: grep -F: fix a heap buffer (read) overrun
|
|
|
|
grep's read buffer is often filled to its full size, except when
|
|
reading the final buffer of a file. In that case, the number of
|
|
bytes read may be far less than the size of the buffer. However, for
|
|
certain unusual pattern/text combinations, grep -F would mistakenly
|
|
examine bytes in that uninitialized region of memory when searching
|
|
for a match. With carefully chosen inputs, one can cause grep -F to
|
|
read beyond the end of that buffer altogether. This problem arose via
|
|
commit v2.18-90-g73893ff with the introduction of a more efficient
|
|
heuristic using what is now the memchr_kwset function. The use of
|
|
that function in bmexec_trans could leave TP much larger than EP,
|
|
and the subsequent call to bm_delta2_search would mistakenly access
|
|
beyond end of the main input read buffer.
|
|
|
|
* src/kwset.c (bmexec_trans): When TP reaches or exceeds EP,
|
|
do not call bm_delta2_search.
|
|
* tests/kwset-abuse: New file.
|
|
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
|
|
* THANKS.in: Update.
|
|
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

Prior to this patch, this command would trigger a UMR:
|
|
|
|
printf %0360db 0 | valgrind src/grep -F $(printf %019dXb 0)
|
|
|
|
Use of uninitialised value of size 8

See the accompanying test for how to trigger the heap buffer overrun.

Thanks to Nima Aghdaii for testing and finding numerous
|
|
ways to break early iterations of this patch.

Nix: @vcunat restricted this to the runtime code only to avoid needing autoreconfiguration.
