CVSS v3.1
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PCRE versions prior to 8.37
Description
The issue allows context-dependent attackers to compile incorrect code, cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read and crash), or possibly have other unspecified impact via a regular expression with a group containing a forward reference repeated a large number of times within a repeated outer group that has a zero minimum quantifier.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 8.37, update to version 8.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
compile branch function until a patch is available. Avoid using regular expressions with groups that contain forward references repeated a large number of times within repeated outer groups that have a zero minimum quantifier.Exploit
