Bruce Momjian	d747140279	8.4 pgindent run, with new combined Linux/FreeBSD/MinGW typedef list ... provided by Andrew.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	df1e965e12	Sync our regex code with upstream changes since last time we did this, which ... was Tcl 8.4.8. The main changes are to remove the never-fully-implemented code for multi-character collating elements, and to const-ify some stuff a bit more fully. In combination with the recent security patch, this commit brings us into line with Tcl 8.5.0. Note that I didn't make any effort to duplicate a lot of cosmetic changes that they made to bring their copy into line with their own style guidelines, such as adding braces around single-line IF bodies. Most of those we either had done already (such as ANSI-fication of function headers) or there is no point because pgindent would undo the change anyway.	18 years ago
Tom Lane	98f27aaef3	Fix assorted security-grade bugs in the regex engine. All of these problems ... are shared with Tcl, since it's their code to begin with, and the patches have been copied from Tcl 8.5.0. Problems: CVE-2007-4769: Inadequate check on the range of backref numbers allows crash due to out-of-bounds read. CVE-2007-4772: Infinite loop in regex optimizer for pattern '($|^)*'. CVE-2007-6067: Very slow optimizer cleanup for regex with a large NFA representation, as well as crash if we encounter an out-of-memory condition during NFA construction. Part of the response to CVE-2007-6067 is to put a limit on the number of states in the NFA representation of a regex. This seems needed even though the within-the-code problems have been corrected, since otherwise the code could try to use very large amounts of memory for a suitably-crafted regex, leading to potential DOS by driving the system into swap, activating a kernel OOM killer, etc. Although there are certainly plenty of ways to drive the system into effective DOS with poorly-written SQL queries, these problems seem worth treating as security issues because many applications might accept regex search patterns from untrustworthy sources. Thanks to Will Drewry of Google for reporting these problems. Patches by Will Drewry and Tom Lane. Security: CVE-2007-4769, CVE-2007-4772, CVE-2007-6067	18 years ago
Tom Lane	f1c87830b5	Add a useless return statement to suppress a warning seen with some ... versions of gcc (I'm seeing it with Apple's gcc 4.0.1). I think the reason we did not see this before was that the assert() macros in the regex code were all no-ops till recently.	18 years ago
Bruce Momjian	1dc3498251	Standard pgindent run for 8.1.	20 years ago
PostgreSQL Daemon	969685ad44	$Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ...	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	46785776c4	Another pgindent run with updated typedefs.	23 years ago
Bruce Momjian	089003fb46	pgindent run.	23 years ago
Tom Lane	7bcc6d98fb	Replace regular expression package with Henry Spencer's latest version ... (extracted from Tcl 8.4.1 release, as Henry still hasn't got round to making it a separate library). This solves a performance problem for multibyte, as well as upgrading our regexp support to match recent Tcl and nearly match recent Perl.	23 years ago
