31 Dec 2005 — Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 6.2 does not properly count the number of named capturing subpatterns, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a regular expression with a large number of named subpatterns, which triggers a buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue was originally subsumed by CVE-2006-7224, but that CVE has been REJECTED and split. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2008-01/msg00006.html • CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer •
