Description Adam Mariš 2015-12-02 14:16:08 UTC 
It was discovered that PCRE before 8.38 mishandles certain references, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression. This issue is similar to CVE-2015-8384 and CVE-2015-8392.

Comment 8 Tomas Hoger 2016-02-19 20:52:06 UTC 
Yet another issue introduced in upstream version 8.34, which refactored named group handling code and apparently several bugs were introduced in the process.
