Descriptions

Integer overflow in Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 6.7 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a regular expression that involves large (1) min, (2) max, or (3) duplength values that cause an incorrect length calculation and trigger a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-7227. NOTE: this issue was originally subsumed by CVE-2006-7224, but that CVE has been REJECTED and split.

Desbordamiento de entero en librería Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) anterior a 6.7 podría permitir a atacantes locales o remotos (dependiendo del contexto) ejecutar código de su elección mediante una expresión regular que involucra grandes valores (1) min, (2) max, o (3) duplength que provocan un cálculo incorrecto de la longitud y disparan un desbordamiento de búfer, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2006-7227. NOTA: este problema estaba incluido originalmente en CVE-2006-7224, pero ese CVE ha sido rechazado y dividido.
