CVE-2026-102473

A flaw was found in dash. When built without libc fnmatch, the internal pmatch matcher implements by unbounded recursion over candidate positions. A local user who can plant filenames, or otherwise feed that matcher, can make a short multi-star pattern such as .....tar.gz consume excessive CPU...

CVE-2026-102473 Dash: dash: super-polynomial backtracking in pmatch when libc fnmatch is disabled

A flaw was found in dash. When built without libc fnmatch, the internal pmatch matcher implements by unbounded recursion over candidate positions. A local user who can plant filenames, or otherwise feed that matcher, can make a short multi-star pattern such as .....tar.gz consume excessive CPU...

CVE-2026-102473

A vulnerability exists in dash where the internal pmatch() matcher implements the * wildcard using unbounded recursion over candidate positions when built without libc fnmatch . A local user capable of providing filenames to the matcher can trigger super-polynomial backtracking by using short mul...
