---- 0. Where is the problem? ----
Some time ago I have reported vulnerabilities in regcomp() in BSD implementation (CVE-2011-3336) and GNU libc implementation (CVE-2010-4051 CVE-2010-4052).
Now is the time for MacOSX and other software and It seems that the problem is still in their implementations.

--- MacOSX 10.9.2 libc PoC ---
Recursion in Apple regcomp/libc() can lead to consumption, exhaustion, etc. (CWE-399)
The same problem occurs in javascript regexp implementation on Safari and Firefox.
In Kaspersky 14.0.0.4651(e) CPU Exhaustion has been observed.
Verified;
- Safari 7.0.2 (9537.74.9)
MacOSX 10.9.2 Memory exhaustion (unpatched CVE-2011-3336)
Phone 4S, iOS 7.0.6 Crash
- Firefox 27.0.1
Windows: Crash

MacOSX: Memory exhaustion
- Kaspersky 14.0.0.4651(e)
CPU Exhaustion and can't restart kaspersky again

We don't know full list of affected vendors. Anyway javascript PoC avaliable here

On Safari and Firefox under MacOSX this script will consume excessive memory. Windows version has allocated 3,8GB and crash
----------------------------
int readChecked(unsigned negativePositionOffest)
{
if (pos < negativePositionOffest)
CRASH();
unsigned p = pos - negativePositionOffest;
ASSERT(p < length);
return input[p];
}
----------------------------
Firefox don't support 64 bits version for windows and only 4gb can be allocated to cause CRASH().
The most interesting is CPU Exhaustion observed in avp.exe process. Many requests to website where RegEx()/javascript code is located cause exhaustion of one cpu core. Closing and restarting Kaspersky is impossible.

The situation with regexp security is not declared. Many vendors think that regcomp() should be secure by default but are also others opinions
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=645859

Red Hat does not consider crash of client application, using regcomp()
or regexec() routines on untrusted input without preliminary checking
the input for the sanity, to be a security issue (the described deficiency
implies and is a known limitation of the glibc regular expression engine
implementation). The expressions can be modified to avoid quantification
nesting, or program modified to limit size of input passed to regular
expression engine. We do not currently plan to fix these flaws. If more
information becomes available at a future date, we may revisit these issues.

and try compare with ZABIX statement

It shouldn't be fixed in Zabbix. That's something to be addressed by glibc maintainers.

In January 2014 Juniper has officially patched CVE-2010-4051 and CVE-2010-4052 in own products.
http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=JSA10612.
MacOSX libc in 10.9.2 is still vulnerable for CVE-2011-3336.
0:log cx$ ls |grep -E '(.?)((((.*){1,100}){1,100}){1,100}){1,100}'
It shows how many varieties of regular expression we have and how hard it is to keep a single standard.
