CVE-2016-1283

Description

The pcre_compile2 function in pcre_compile.c in PCRE 8.38 mishandles the /((?:F?+(?:^(?(R)a+\\){99}-))(?J)(?\'R\'(?\'R\'<((?\'RR\'(?\'R\'\\){97)?J)?J)(?\'R\'(?\'R\'\\){99|(:(?|(?\'R\')(\\k\'R\')|((?\'R\')))H\'R\'R)(H\'R))))))/ pattern and related patterns with named subgroups, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.
