Subject: BUG #17277: write past chunk when calling normalize() on an empty string
Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2021 21:55:08 +0000
Message-ID: <17277-0c527a373794e802@postgresql.org> (raw)
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 17277
Logged by: Matthijs van der Vleuten
Email address: postgresql@zr40.nl
PostgreSQL version: 14.0
Operating system: Debian sid
Description:
When calling normalize(''), that is, on an empty string, a warning is
raised: "problem in alloc set ExprContext: detected write past chunk end".
I believe this is due to an error in unicode_norm.c. In unicode_normalize(),
when recompose is true (that is, when using NFC or NFKC normalization) the
loop on line 498 will iterate once before checking count < decomp_size. When
the input is an empty string, this would cause a write outside of the memory
allocated for recomp_chars.
Reproduction:
