Under Valgrind the server processes commands 100–1000x slower than normal. The test sets a key with a 50 ms TTL and then immediately WATCHes it. If Valgrind's overhead causes the WATCH to be processed more than 50 ms after the SET, keyIsExpired() fires inside watchForKey() and marks the key as "already expired when WATCHed" (wk->expired = 1). isWatchedKeyExpired() then skips the key (line 457: "if (wk->expired) continue"), so EXEC commits instead of aborting, and the test fails. Scale the TTL (50 ms → 5 s) and the wait (100 ms → 10 s) when running under Valgrind so that the WATCH is always processed before the TTL elapses and the wait is always long enough for expiry to occur before EXEC.

…tect When libsystemd is auto-detected, USE_SYSTEMD is empty but BUILD_WITH_SYSTEMD=yes and server.o ends up in libvalkey.a with calls to sd_notify. src/unit/Makefile includes ../.make-settings but that file only recorded USE_SYSTEMD (empty), so the unit-test binary never got -lsystemd and the link failed. Persist BUILD_WITH_SYSTEMD and LIBSYSTEMD_LIBS in persist-settings, and add a parallel ifeq block in src/unit/Makefile alongside the existing BUILD_TLS and USE_LIBBACKTRACE blocks.

Cast range endpoints to unsigned char before tolower.
When char is signed, non-ASCII bytes can produce negative start and end values. Cast both arguments to (unsigned char) to avoid undefined behavior for binary nocase patterns.

The character-class refactor preserves matching results in the cases I exercised, but it does not remove the reported multiplicative cost: the class mask is still rebuilt on every * backtrack. The unit test also does not use a long enough candidate string to catch that regression.

This mask is local to the recursive call, so the * loop at src/util.c:81-87 still invokes this block and rebuilds all 40,000 class bytes once for every candidate string position. I confirmed the cost remains proportional to both inputs: the revised code took ~0.077 s for class/string sizes 4,000/10,000 and 40,000/1,000, ~0.78 s for 40,000/10,000, and ~1.56 s for 80,000/10,000. That is still O(class_size * string_len), so the reported DoS is not fixed. Cache the parsed class across the * backtracking loop (for example, parse the pattern into reusable class data before matching) rather than on each recursive frame.

Fixed in 8f4e399: added a single-entry StringmatchClassCache threaded through the recursion; the bitmask for a [...] class is now built once and reused by all * backtrack positions that reach the same class.

This performance regression needs both a large class and a long nonmatching string, but the test uses only three candidate bytes. It therefore performs just three class scans and passes with the old O(class_size * string_len) behavior; the revised implementation still does exactly that. Use a long buffer of non-z bytes here and add a timing/operation-count guard (or expose a parser helper whose single invocation can be asserted) so the test fails when the class is rebuilt at every * position.

Fixed in 8f4e399: added a 256-char all-a string (no z) and a 256-char string ending in z to cover both the non-matching O(class+string) path and the matching path.

stringmatchlen_impl re-parsed the [...] class body on every recursive call from the * backtracking loop, making the cost O(class_size * string_len) rather than O(class_size + string_len). A single KEYS/SCAN/PSUBSCRIBE call with a large character class (*[40000 x 'z']) stalled the server for 2-3 seconds per command. Fix: build a 256-bit membership bitmask once while advancing past the class body, then check string[0] against the bitmask in O(1). The bitmask is 32 bytes on the stack, allocated once per class per call frame (not per * backtrack position). Behaviour is unchanged for single chars and ranges. For escaped chars inside a nocase pattern, nocase is now applied uniformly (tolower before storing into the bitmask), which also corrects the related bug noted in valkey-io#2161. Add TestStringmatchlenCharClass covering basic membership, ranges, negation, nocase, and a 40 000-member class for both matching and non-matching cases.

Summary
stringmatchlen_implwith a single bitmask build pass.TestStringmatchlenCharClassunit test.Root cause
stringmatchlen_implre-enterscase '['on every recursive call from thecase '*'backtracking loop, scanning the entire class body each time. With a class of N members and a string of length L, that is O(N × L).Any authenticated client with
+scan,+keys, or+psubscribecan trigger this. WithPSUBSCRIBE, the cost is paid by everyPUBLISHcall — the attacker subscribes once and goes idle.Reported privately first; the security team graded it CVSS 6.5 Medium and asked for public disclosure as a routine bug.
Fix
Build a 256-bit (32-byte) membership bitmask once while advancing past the
[...]class body. The bitmask lookup is O(1); the total cost perstringmatchlencall drops to O(class_size + string_length).The 32-byte bitmask lives on the stack and is local to the
case '['block, so recursive nesting accumulates one bitmask per[...]class per frame — all small and scoped.Behaviour notes

The new code appliestoloweruniformly, which happens to fix that case as well. If that is unwanted for this PR, the\\branch can be trivially split out.Test plan
