The regcomp implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) up to and including 2.11.3, and 2.12.x up to and including 2.12.2, allows context-dependent malicious users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a regular expression containing adjacent bounded repetitions that bypass the intended RE_DUP_MAX limitation, as demonstrated by a {10,}{10,}{10,}{10,}{10,} sequence in the proftpd.gnu.c exploit for ProFTPD, related to a "RE_DUP_MAX overflow."
