Descriptions

The compile_branch function in PCRE before 8.37 allows context-dependent attackers to compile incorrect code, cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read and crash), or possibly have other unspecified impact via a regular expression with a group containing a forward reference repeated a large number of times within a repeated outer group that has a zero minimum quantifier.

La función compile_branch en PCRE versiones anteriores a 8.37, permite a atacantes dependiendo del contexto compilar código incorrecto, causar una denegación de servicio (lectura de la pila fuera de límites y bloqueo) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado por medio de una expresión regular con un grupo que contiene una referencia directa repetida una gran número de veces dentro de un grupo externo repetido que posee un cuantificador mínimo cero.
