Description
An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP through 7.1.5. A heap out-of-bounds write occurs in bitset_set_range() during regular expression compilation due to an uninitialized variable from an incorrect state transition. An incorrect state transition in parse_char_class() could create an execution path that leaves a critical local variable uninitialized until it's used as an index, resulting in an out-of-bounds write memory corruption.
Affected configurations
• oniguruma project oniguruma 6.2.0
• php php (>= 5.6.0 < 5.6.31)
• php php (>= 7.0.0 < 7.0.21)
• php php (>= 7.1.0 < 7.1.7)
