Bug ID: 17356
Summary: regex assertion violation with triple backreferences
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: regex
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: eggert at gnu dot org
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Flags: security+

Test for triple backreference regex bug
The attached program, which is a strictly conforming use of the POSIX regular
expression matcher, has undefined behavior with glibc. On Fedora 20 x86-64 it
simply dumps core; on Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64 it outputs "regexec.c:1386:
pop_fail_stack: Assertion `num >= 0' failed" and then dumps core. It works
fine on Solaris and AIX.
I expect that this bug has been in all glibc versions since Isamu Hasegawa's
circa-2002 rewrite of the regex code, and that the bug is in glibc 2.20 too,
though I haven't tested this.
Fixing this bug will not be trivial, I'm afraid. I have not succeeded in
tracking down Mr. Hasegawa.

This appears to be a duplicate of Bug#11053 so I'll try to resolve it as a
duplicate.

Apparently I was incorrect when I wrote that this was a duplicate of Bug#11053
as that other bug is fixed but this one is not.

More precisely, the assertion violation was Bug#11053, which is fixed in glibc
2.35, but the test now fails: it gives no matches, while there should be a
match, since the regexp matches the empty string.
Test with grep:
vinc17@gcc92:~$ echo 'a' | grep -E '(.{0,1})(.{0,1})\2\1'
a
vinc17@gcc92:~$ echo 'a' | grep -E '(.{0,1})(.{0,1})(.{0,1})\3\2\1'
vinc17@gcc92:~$
(with only 2 backreferences, this is OK, but not with 3).
The bug could be retitled.

Thanks, I've retitled it from "regex assertion violation with triple
backreferences" to "regex misbehavior with triple backreferences".
