Description Adam Mariš 2017-06-30 10:48:46 UTC 
An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP through 7.1.5. A stack out-of-bounds read occurs in match_at() during regular expression searching. A logical error involving order of validation and access in match_at() could result in an out-of-bounds read from a stack buffer.

Comment 2 Doran Moppert 2017-07-31 04:04:18 UTC 
Exploiting this flaw results in a single byte read beyond the end of the input string, which is stack-allocated in the reproducer but could plausibly also be heap-allocated.  Information about the byte read may under some circumstances be leaked to the attacker, but their opportunity to control this or repeatedly exploit it to learn useful information is very small.

This is not vulnerable according to the upstream:
