Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] lib/ts_kmp: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 20:20:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308202028.2889285-2-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260308202028.2889285-1-objecting@objecting.org>
From: Josh Law <objecting@objecting.org>
Changes in v3:
- mirror the ts_bm review fixes for consistency across the series
- move overflow checks before the arithmetic they guard
- add comments and use overflow.h helpers for the allocation math
The ts_kmp algorithm stores its prefix_tbl[] table and pattern in a
single allocation sized from the pattern length. If the prefix_tbl[]
size calculation wraps, the resulting allocation can be too small and
subsequent pattern copies can overflow it.
Fix this by rejecting zero-length patterns and by using overflow
helpers before calculating the combined allocation size.
