Subject: changing CVE ID for RH Bugzilla 1098222 (from CVE-2014-0235)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
CVE-2014-0235 should have been a completely valid CVE assignment from
Red Hat, but it would be extremely problematic to keep it because that
ID was accidentally used by Microsoft (typo of CVE-2014-0325) and is
in very widespread use for the wrong issue.
Can you assign one or more new CVE IDs for Red Hat Bugzilla 1098222
and send the CVE mapping here?
We're not sure how many vulnerabilities Red Hat is announcing in
1098222. Was the intention to have only one vulnerability and one CVE
for "the code before upstream version 5.19 tried to do regex matches
against an arbitrarily large amount of file content"?
We realize that https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1098222#c5
mentions "This fix is also insufficient" but it appears that all of
the discussion of incompleteness of a new fix occurred when 1098222
was embargoed, and also the upstream commit message didn't refer to
that first fix as security-related (the upstream commit message was
"further optimize awk by not looking for the BEGIN regex ..."). So,
this ordinarily wouldn't lead to any extra CVEs.
However, we don't know whether Red Hat is announcing any part of
https://github.com/file/file/commit/4a284c89d6ef11aca34da65da7d673050a5ea320
as an additional vulnerability that was also fixed in 5.19.
If your intention was that everything related to regex matches is a
single vulnerability, then only one CVE ID is needed to replace
CVE-2014-0235.
In a "REJECT" message for CVE-2014-0235, we can indicate the correct
per-product CVE IDs for the Internet Explorer and file/CPU-consumption
issues.
