PCRE Character Class Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

PCRE regular-expression library is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it 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 library. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

The issue affects versions prior to PCRE 7.6.
