Backport fix for CVE-2026-73072 (heap buffer overflow in
set_sofo()) from upstream commit 05c41c9223 (patch 9.2.0846).
A crafted spell file with an empty SN_SAL section before an
SN_SOFO section could cause set_sofo() to under-count colliding
multi-byte characters, allocate an undersized list, and write
past its end. The fix resets sl_sal_first[] before the counting
loop. The test was dropped.

Subject: [PATCH] patch 9.2.0846: [security]: heap buffer overflow in
|
|
set_sofo()
|
|
|
|
Problem: [security]: heap buffer overflow in set_sofo()
|
|
(Yazan Balawneh)
|
|
Solution: Reset sl_sal_first (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
|
|
|
|
A crafted spell file with an empty SN_SAL section before an SN_SOFO
|
|
section reaches set_sofo() with sl_sal_first[] already set to -1 by
|
|
set_sal_first(). The counting loop then under-counts colliding
|
|
multi-byte "from" characters, allocates an undersized list and writes
|
|
past its end.
