Summary: _sre.c references uninitialised memory
Initial Comment:
In _sre.c, data_stack_grow(), realloc'ed memory is not initialised
before use. When complex regexps are used, this results in a core
dump.
Initialising the newly allocated memory to 0x55 and executing an
offending regexp results in a fatal reference to an address like
0x55555558:
static int
data_stack_grow(SRE_STATE* state, int size)
{
int minsize, cursize;
minsize = state->data_stack_base+size;
cursize = state->data_stack_size;
if (cursize < minsize) {
void* stack;
cursize = minsize+minsize/4+1024;
TRACE(("allocate/grow stack %d\n", cursize));
stack = realloc(state->data_stack, cursize);
if (!stack) {
data_stack_dealloc(state);
return SRE_ERROR_MEMORY;
}
memset(stack+state->data_stack_size, 0x55, cursize-state-
>data_stack_size);
state->data_stack = stack;
state->data_stack_size = cursize;
}
return 0;
}
