Description Adam Mariš 2017-06-30 11:16:28 UTC
An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in
Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP through 7.1.5. A heap
out-of-bounds write occurs in bitset_set_range() during regular
expression compilation due to an uninitialized variable from an
incorrect state transition. An incorrect state transition in
parse_char_class() could create an execution path that leaves a
critical local variable uninitialized until it's used as an index,
resulting in an out-of-bounds write memory corruption.

Note also the second upstream patch:

Comment 3 Doran Moppert 2017-07-31 06:10:07 UTC
The attack demonstrated here gives very limited control - it looks like in the best case, up to 8 bits in a range determined by uninitialised (stack) data can be set to 1.

Ruby is not vulnerable according to upstream:

On Fedora, I submitted oniguruma-6.1.3-3.fc25 .
oniguruma on F-26 and above already contains this fix.
(F-24 is EOL)
