Bumps minimatch from 0.2.14 to 3.0.4. This update includes security fixes.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

High severity vulnerability that affects minimatch Minimatch is a minimal matching utility that works by converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects. The primary function, minimatch(path, pattern) in Minimatch 3.0.1 and earlier is vulnerable to ReDoS in the pattern parameter.

Affected versions: < 3.0.2

Sourced from The Node Security Working Group.

Regular Expression Denial of Service Minimatch is a minimal matching utility that works by converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects. The primary function, minimatch(path, pattern) is vulnerable to ReDoS in the pattern parameter. This is because of the regular expression on line 521 of minimatch.js: /((?:\\{2})*)(\\?)\|/g,. The problematic portion of the regex is ((?:\\{2})*) which matches against \\.

A proof of concept is as follows:

var minimatch = require(“minimatch”);

// utility function for generating long strings
var genstr = function (len, chr) {
var result = “”;
for (i=0; i&lt;=len; i++) {
result = result + chr;
}
return result;
}


var exploit = “[!” + genstr(1000000, “\”) + “A”;


// minimatch exploit.
console.log(“starting minimatch”);
minimatch(“foo”, exploit);
</tr></table>

... (truncated)

Affected versions: <=3.0.1
