Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6: resource exhaustion
Medium5.5CVE-2026-102473 · Published Sep 29, 2026 · updated Sep 30, 2026
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.
