(In reply to Phil Pennock from comment #1)
> We already have bug 834 in which I provided a patch to implement a
> permit_coredump option on pipe transports, where this does work.
>
> If you're permitting coredumps to be raised by using the soft limit, then
> there's a security issue when Exim has read in getpwent data with passwords
> (on various systems) or other cases where it still has this sort of data in
> memory; then once it has setuid() to an end-user, the end-user triggers a
> core-dump (via signal). Thus changing the option globally like this seems a
> bad idea.

> I for one would be happier if this was changed to add a
> system_filter_permit_coredump option and recoded to limit the situations in
> which a core-dump can happen.


The latest version of PCRE (pcre2-10.34-RC1, pcre2-10.33) is prone to a stack
http://www.sprite-ideas.com/
overflow vulnerability in internal_dfa_match() (pcre2_dfa_match.c) which can be
triggered using a crafted regular expression. Upon execution of the crafted
regular expression, the function internal_dfa_match() calls itself recursively,
resulting into uncontrolled recursion. It exceeds the stack size limit (8 MB),
finally resulting into stack exhaustion. An attacker can potentially exploit
this issue to perform remote code execution or denial of service attack.
