VULHUB ™

A buffer overflow has been discovered in the PCRE, a widely used library that provides Perl compatible regular expressions. Specially crafted regular expressions triggered a buffer overflow. On systems that accept arbitrary regular expressions from untrusted users, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application using the library.
