This seems to have been fixed in r65190. ~~~ $ ./ruby --version ruby 2.6.0dev (2018-10-24 trunk 65355) [x86_64-linux] $ ./ruby -e '-888888888888888i**88888888888888' -e:1: warning: in a**b, b may be too big $ ~~~ ---------------------------------------- Bug #15237: Extreme memory/CPU utilization when calculating some exponents https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15237#change-74604 * Author: bannable (Joe Truba) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.6.0dev (2018-10-16 trunk 65097) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- During a recent fuzzing session, AFL identified a simple input which causes extreme memory and CPU utilization when processing certain exponentiation operations. When running ruby against the reproducer below, ruby will consume 100% of available CPU and allocate continually larger portions of memory. I'm not actually sure if this exits or not -- so far I've let it run for up to 10 minutes and it hasn't exited. My rubies are compiled with jemalloc, so I expect that the memory allocations would be significantly larger for rubies compiled without.
