as per https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-47100 , CVE-2023-47100 is duplicate of CVE-2023-47038 CVE: CVE-2023-47038 CVE-2023-47100 Upstream-Status: Backport [ import from ubuntu perl_5.30.0-9ubuntu0.5 upstream https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/12c313ce49b36160a7ca2e9b07ad5bd92ee4a010 ] Signed-off-by: Lee Chee Yang Backport of: From 12c313ce49b36160a7ca2e9b07ad5bd92ee4a010 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karl Williamson Date: Sat, 9 Sep 2023 11:59:09 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix read/write past buffer end: perl-security#140 A package name may be specified in a \p{...} regular expression construct. If unspecified, "utf8::" is assumed, which is the package all official Unicode properties are in. By specifying a different package, one can create a user-defined property with the same unqualified name as a Unicode one. Such a property is defined by a sub whose name begins with "Is" or "In", and if the sub wishes to refer to an official Unicode property, it must explicitly specify the "utf8::". S_parse_uniprop_string() is used to parse the interior of both \p{} and the user-defined sub lines. In S_parse_uniprop_string(), it parses the input "name" parameter, creating a modified copy, "lookup_name", malloc'ed with the same size as "name". The modifications are essentially to create a canonicalized version of the input, with such things as extraneous white-space stripped off. I found it convenient to strip off the package specifier "utf8::". To to so, the code simply pretends "lookup_name" begins just after the "utf8::", and adjusts various other values to compensate. However, it missed the adjustment of one required one. This is only a problem when the property name begins with "perl" and isn't "perlspace" nor "perlword". All such ones are undocumented internal properties. What happens in this case is that the input is reparsed with slightly different rules in effect as to what is legal versus illegal. The problem is that "lookup_name" no longer is pointing to its initial value, but "name" is. Thus the space allocated for filling "lookup_name" is now shorter than "name", and as this shortened "lookup_name" is filled by copying suitable portions of "name", the write can be to unallocated space. The solution is to skip the "utf8::" when reparsing "name". Then both "lookup_name" and "name" are effectively shortened by the same amount, and there is no going off the end. This commit also does white-space adjustment so that things align vertically for readability. This can be easily backported to earlier Perl releases. --- regcomp.c | 17 +++++++++++------ t/re/pat_advanced.t | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) --- a/regcomp.c +++ b/regcomp.c @@ -22606,7 +22606,7 @@ Perl_parse_uniprop_string(pTHX_ * compile perl to know about them) */ bool is_nv_type = FALSE; - unsigned int i, j = 0; + unsigned int i = 0, i_zero = 0, j = 0; int equals_pos = -1; /* Where the '=' is found, or negative if none */ int slash_pos = -1; /* Where the '/' is found, or negative if none */ int table_index = 0; /* The entry number for this property in the table @@ -22717,9 +22717,13 @@ Perl_parse_uniprop_string(pTHX_ * all of them are considered to be for that package.
