Subject: file does not properly restrict the amount of data read during a regex search
ID: CVE-2014-3538
Author: Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
Date: Tue Jun 3 19:01:34 2014 +0000
Origin:
    commit 4a284c89d6ef11aca34da65da7d673050a5ea320
Debian-Author: Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>
Comment:
 Taken from the fix in php5 (5.4.4-14+deb7u13), with minor corrections
 and adjustments.
Last-Update: 2014-09-07

    * Enforce limit of 8K on regex searches that have no limits
    * Allow the l modifier for regex to mean line count. Default
      to byte count. If line count is specified, assume a max
      of 80 characters per line to limit the byte count.
    * Don't allow conversions to be used for dates, allowing
      the mask field to be used as an offset.
    * Bump the version of the magic format so that regex changes
      are visible.
