FKIE_CVE-2015-8385
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-12-02 01:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:34
Severity
Summary
PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the /(?|(\k'Pm')|(?'Pm'))/ pattern and related patterns with certain forward references, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.
