Status in gvfs source package in Bionic:

Status in gvfs source package in Cosmic:

Bug description:
* Impact
gvfs can be made to segfault by being provided an invalid autorun.inf
* Test Case
Use the proof of concept from bellow to generate an invalid
autorun.inf and place it on an usb drive, connect the drive to the
computer, gvfs shouldn't hit a segfault
* Regression potential
Check that the autorun feature keeps working
-----------------------
Reported upstream at https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2330 -
libpcre3 can be made to crash when matching the pattern \s*= when the
context is n\xff=
Able to reproduce on current Bionic using the PoC attached (which is
copied directly from the upstream bug report) - in a fresh Bionic VM:
$ sudo apt install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev
$ cd PCRE_PoC
$ ./compilePoC.sh
$ ./PoC
Content:
-------------------
n�=
-------------------
Pattern:
-------------------
\s*=
---------------------
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Haven't yet tested the second PoC via an external disk autorun.inf and
gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.
Also haven't tested in Cosmic / older releases
