Descriptions

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 reads past the end of the string when searching for unmatched brackets and parentheses, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), possibly involving forward references.

La librería Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) anterior a 7.3 lee más allá del final de una cadena cuando busca corchetes no coincidentes y paréntesis, lo cual permite a atacantes locales o remotos (dependiendo del contexto) provocar una denegación de servicio (caída), posiblemente involucrando referencias hacia delante.
