Descriptions

Stack consumption vulnerability in the regcomp implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.11.3, and 2.12.x through 2.12.2, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a regular expression containing adjacent repetition operators, as demonstrated by a {10,}{10,}{10,}{10,} sequence in the proftpd.gnu.c exploit for ProFTPD.

Vulnerabilidad de lconsumo de pila de memoria en la aplicación regcomp en la Biblioteca de C de GNU (también conocido como glibc o libc6) hasta v2.11.3, y v2.12.x hasta v2.12.2, permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto para provocar una denegación de servicio (agotamiento de recursos) a través de expresión regular que contiene operadores de repetición adyacentes, como se demuestra con una secuencia {10} {10} {10} {10} en el exploit proftpd.gnu.c para ProFTPD.

Mac OS X, Safari, Firefox and Kaspersky all suffer from a regular expression denial of service condition that was discovered long ago in regcomp().
