do we have a reproducer for this? There is a sample program and input reproducer in the customer portal support case. It is too large to attach to bugzilla. The problem does not happen in latest libmagic upstream as it uses a different code path. The problem is triggered by the rhel8 version of libmagic and the pattern in the sample file. If you have trouble getting the data from the customer portal please let me know.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

User has software with floating point exceptions enabled, and when using libmagic internals, get a floating point exception when comparing a NaN with a number. This is a very special case, but would force user to disable/enable exceptions when calling libmagic functions. Or, user suggests libmagic could disable/(re)enable exceptions. Sample of what happens: """ #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <fenv.h> int feenableexcept(int); int fedisableexcept(int); int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { union { int i; float f; } u[2]; fedisableexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); feenableexcept(FE_INVALID); u[0].i = -1; // NaN u[1].f = 1; printf("%d\n", u[0].f < u[1].f); //printf("%d\n", isless(u[0].f, u[1].f)); return 0; } """ $ gcc test.c -lm $ ./a.out Floating point exception (core dumped) User also sets other exceptions, but libmagic should only trigger FE_INVALID. A possible pseudo patch would be to change file/softmagic.c with pseudo patch: ... #include <math.h> ... case '!': - matched = fv != fl; + matched = isunordered(fv, fl) ? 1 : fv != fl; break; case '=': - matched = fv == fl; + matched = isunordered(fv, fl) ? 0 : fv == fl; break; case '>': - matched = fv > fl; + matched = isgreater(fv, fl); break; case '<': - matched = fv < fl; + matched = isless(fv, fl); break; ... and as appropriate for double values. There should be no floating operations on infinities or division by zero, so, the above should resolve the issue for the user. There would be a small extra overhead, when using the macros, that resolve to __builtin_is{less,greater,unordered}. The problem happens with a customer user file. User is afraid other data files might trigger the problem in libmagic.
