Package: grep Version: 2.16-1 Severity: important grep -P loops on some files with invalid UTF-8 sequences, e.g.
$ /usr/bin/printf "\xe9\x65\n\xab\n" | grep -P '.e|.?z' | head �e �e �e �e �e �e �e �e �e �e (the infinite loop is interrupted here by a broken pipe due to the "head"). It seems that the fix of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=730472 didn't solve all the problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grep depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.6 ii install-info 5.2.0.dfsg.1-2 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libpcre3 1:8.31-2 grep recommends no packages. grep suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
