Uclinux · Uclibc · CVE-2017-9729
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
uClibc version 0.9.33.2
**Description**
The issue is related to stack exhaustion due to uncontrolled recursion in the `check dst limits calc pos 1` function, located in `misc/regex/regexec.c`, when the software processes a crafted regular expression.
**Recommendations**
For uClibc version 0.9.33.2, consider avoiding the use of crafted regular expressions until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the `check dst limits calc pos 1` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
