Subject: mandoc: While doing delayed expansion of escape sequences in macro
Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2023 16:02:31 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <94816dfa9f5cfa60@mandoc.bsd.lv> (raw)

Log Message:
-----------
While doing delayed expansion of escape sequences in macro arguments,
correctly check for failure of the in-place expansion function.
If an argument not only does recursive delayed expansion
but infinitely recursive delayed expansion, this bug could
result in an ESCAPE_EXPAND assertion failure.

Thanks to Eric van Gyzen <vangyzen at FreeBSD> for finding this bug
by inspecting FreeBSD source code.
