Petr Pisar 2012-10-12 11:56:55 UTC Status ASSIGNED MODIFIED
Fixed In Version perl-5.10.1-128.el6
Assignee perl-maint-list ppisar
Doc Text Cause:
Repeating string with `x' operator more than 2^31 times
(e.g. "my $s = 'a' x (2**31+1);").
Consequence:
Computed string becomes corrupted or the interpreter crashes.
Fix:
The right site of `x' operator has been limited to 2^31 to
prevent from wrapping internal representation of the count.
Result:
It's not possible to repeat string more than 2^31 times and
thus corrupt memory or crash the interpreter. If user
supplies bigger count the interpreter will raise an
exception.
