http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-4768

"Heap-based buffer overflow in Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library
before 7.3 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
singleton Unicode sequence in a character class in a regex pattern, which is
incorrectly optimized."
