Descriptions

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 6.7 does not properly calculate the compiled memory allocation for regular expressions that involve a quantified "subpattern containing a named recursion or subroutine reference," which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (error or crash).

La biblioteca Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) versiones anteriores a 6.7 no calcula apropiadamente la ubicación de memoria compilada para expresiones regulares que involucran un "subpatrón conteniendo un recursión nombrada ó referencia a subrutina" cuantificado, lo cual permite a atacantes locales o remotos dependientes del contexto provocar una denegación de servicio (error o caída)
