Descriptions
An issue was discovered in Perl 5.22 through 5.26. Matching a crafted locale dependent regular expression can cause a heap-based buffer over-read and potentially information disclosure.
Se ha descubierto un problema en Perl, de la versión 5.22 a la 5.26. Si se hace que coincida una expresión regular dependiente de una locale manipulada, se puede provocar una sobrelectura de búfer basada en memoria dinámica (heap) y una potencial divulgación de información.
A heap buffer over read flaw was found in the way Perl regular expression engine handled inputs with invalid UTF-8 characters. An attacker able to provide a specially crafted input to be matched against a regular expression could cause Perl interpreter to crash or disclose portion of its memory.
