PCRE Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

PCRE is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the library fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application using the PCRE library. Failed attacks may result in denial-of-service conditions.

Mitigation:

Update to PCRE version 8.02 or later. Avoid using untrusted input in PCRE expressions.
