Hi Mike

I have had a look at this. First of all I do not think the CVE is
completely fixed even with the additional patch. I also do not fully
understand how 6111-2.patch is supposed to work. More about this below.
Let us give some example commands.

[1] scp host:/foobar/a* b
[2] scp host:a* b
[3] scp -r host /foobar/a* b
[4] scp -r host a* b

My understanding is that only case 1 is protected by 6111-1.patch
6111-2.patch seems to protect against case 2.

But to my understanding we do not protect against 3 and 4. Am I missing
something?

Anyway I have tried to see if I could reproduce the segfault. I do not know
fully how you have tested it so I decided to copy the new code to a new
test.c file and test different patterns.
The functionality as such seems to be working fine.

I did one change though to make it work. I changed xstrdup to strdup
because I could not find link against it for some reason. Could that be
your problem too?

Essentially my test.c file looks like this:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <bsd/stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <publib.h>
#define fatal sprintf

... the new functions code here ...

int testpattern(char* pattern) {
  char **patterns = NULL;
  size_t npatterns = 0;
  int i = 0;
  printf("==== Test pattern %s ====\n", pattern);
  brace_expand(pattern, &patterns, &npatterns);
  for (i = 0; i < npatterns; i++) {
    printf("Pattern %d: %s\n", i, patterns[i]);
  }
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  testpattern("filea");
  testpattern("dira/filea");
  testpattern("dira/file{a,b}");
  testpattern("file{a,b}");
  testpattern("file*");
  testpattern("file{a,b}{c,d}");
  testpattern("file{a,b}*");
  testpattern("dir{a,b}*/d");
  testpattern("dir{a,b}/file*{a,b}*");
}

I could not reproduce the crash. How did you reproduce it?

Best regards

// Ola
