Package: haskell-regex-posix
Severity: important
Tags: security patch
The security team received a report from the CERT Coordination Center that the
Henry Spencer regular expressions (regex) library contains a heap overflow
vulnerability. It looks like this package includes the affected code at that's
the reason of this bug report.
The patch is available here:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blobdiff/4d133046c59a851141519d03553a70e903b3eefc..2841837793bd095a82f477e9c370cfe6cfb3862c:/lib/libc/regex/regcomp.c
Please, can you confirm if the binary packages are affected? Are stable and
testing affected?
More information, here:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/695940
https://guidovranken.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/full-disclosure-heap-overflow-in-h-spencers-regex-library-on-32-bit-systems/
A CVE id has been requested already and the report will be updated with it
eventually.
Cheers, luciano

Thanks for the report. I believe that haskell-regex-posix is not
affected: It ships C code with the vulnerable file, but uses that only
when building on windows. On Linux, the system "regex.h" is used.
Greetings,
Joachim
