Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-11-15 19:46 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:34
Severity
Summary
Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.0 does not properly calculate the amount of memory needed for a compiled regular expression pattern when the (1) -x or (2) -i UTF-8 options change within the pattern, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (PCRE or glibc crash) via crafted regular expressions.
