Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lib/ts_kmp: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 18:04:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308180453.2883890-2-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260308180453.2883890-1-objecting@objecting.org>
The ts_kmp algorithm computes the required allocation size by
multiplying the pattern length by the size of an integer. If the
pattern length is sufficiently large, this can overflow the 32-bit
unsigned int before it is widened to size_t. This could result in an
undersized allocation and a subsequent heap buffer overflow when
copying the pattern.
Fix this by explicitly checking that the length does not exceed
the maximum safe threshold before calculating the buffer sizes.
