Subject: [PATCH] PATCH: [perl #133185] Infinite loop in qr//
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This loop was inadvertently introduced as part of patches to fix
(perl #132227 CVE-2018-6797] heap-buffer-overflow".  The commit in 5.27
responsible was f8fb8615ddc5a80e3bbd4386a8914497f921b62d.

To be vulnerable, the pattern must start out as /d (hence no use 5.012
or higher), and then there must be something that implicitly forces /u
(which the \pp does in the test case added by this patch), and then
(?aa), and then the code point \xDF.  (German Sharp S).  The /i must be
in effect by the time the DF is encountered, but it needn't come in the
(?aa) which the test does.

The problem is that the conditional that is testing that we switched
away from /d rules is assuming that this happened during the
construction of the current EXACTFish node.  The comments I wrote
indicate this assumption.  But this example shows that the switch can
come before this node started getting constructed, and so it loops.

The patch explicitly saves the state at the beginning of this node's
construction, and only retries if it changed during that construction.
Therefore the next time through, it will see that it hasn't changed
since the previous time, and won't loop.
