--- Begin Message ---Package: apache2 Version: 2.2.3-3 Severity: normal Hello, recently I came across the following bit of code in the source file apache2-2.2.3/srclib/pcre/pcre.c (function compile_branch, around line 3366): /* Condition to test for a numbered subpattern match. We know that if a digit follows ( then there will just be digits until ) because the syntax was checked in the first pass. */ else if ((digitab[ptr[1]] && ctype_digit) != 0) ... This is a programming error. The test for digits works by taking the bitwise (not logical) and between the corresponding entry in 'digitab' and the mask 'ctype_digit'. The if test should use '&' instead of '&&'. I did not check what the implications of this error are (false positves could occur if 'ptr[1]' is a hex digit, but these might be caught earlier in the syntax check?), but probably this should be fixed anyway. I hope this helps, Jochen -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.1 Locale: LANG=en_GB.iso885915, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.iso885915 (charmap=ISO-8859-15)
