Descriptions
Perl before 5.30.3 has an integer overflow related to mishandling of a "PL_regkind[OP(n)] == NOTHING" situation. A crafted regular expression could lead to malformed bytecode with a possibility of instruction injection.
Perl versiones anteriores a 5.30.3, presenta un desbordamiento de enteros relacionado con un manejo inapropiado de una situación "PL_regkind[OP(n)] == NOTHING". Una expresión regular diseñada podría conllevar a un bytecode malformado con la posibilidad de inyección de instrucciones
ManhND discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. In environments where untrusted regular expressions are evaluated, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Perl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Hugo van der Sanden and Slaven Rezic discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. In environments where untrusted regular expressions are evaluated, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Perl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
