Hi Mike I have had a look at this. First of all I do not think the CVE is completely fixed even with the additional patch. I also do not fully understand how 6111-2.patch is supposed to work. More about this below. Let us give some example commands.
[1] scp host:/foobar/a* b [2] scp host:a* b [3] scp -r host /foobar/a* b [4] scp -r host a* b My understanding is that only case 1 is protected by 6111-1.patch 6111-2.patch seems to protect against case 2. But to my understanding we do not protect against 3 and 4. Am I missing something? Anyway I have tried to see if I could reproduce the segfault. I do not know fully how you have tested it so I decided to copy the new code to a new test.c file and test different patterns. The functionality as such seems to be working fine. I did one change though to make it work. I changed xstrdup to strdup because I could not find link against it for some reason. Could that be your problem too? Essentially my test.c file looks like this: #include <sys/types.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <bsd/stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <publib.h> #define fatal sprintf ... the new functions code here ... int testpattern(char* pattern) { char **patterns = NULL; size_t npatterns = 0; int i = 0; printf("==== Test pattern %s ====\n", pattern); brace_expand(pattern, &patterns, &npatterns); for (i = 0; i < npatterns; i++) { printf("Pattern %d: %s\n", i, patterns[i]); } } int main(int argc, char** argv) { testpattern("filea"); testpattern("dira/filea"); testpattern("dira/file{a,b}"); testpattern("file{a,b}"); testpattern("file*"); testpattern("file{a,b}{c,d}"); testpattern("file{a,b}*"); testpattern("dir{a,b}*/d"); testpattern("dir{a,b}/file*{a,b}*"); } I could not reproduce the crash. How did you reproduce it?
