CVS commit: src/lib/libc/regex



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   christos
Date:           Thu Feb  7 22:13:52 UTC 2019

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libc/regex: regcomp.c

Log Message:
Fix OOB read from FreeBSD:

The bug is an out-of-bounds read detected with address sanitizer that
happens when 'sp' in p_b_coll_elems() includes NUL byte[s], e.g. if it's
equal to "GS\x00". In that case len will be equal to 4, and the
strncmp(cp->name, sp, len) call will succeed when cp->name is "GS" but the
cp->name[len] == '\0' comparison will cause the read to go out-of-bounds.

Checking the length using strlen() instead eliminates the issue.

The bug was found in LLVM with oss-fuzz:
