PCRE library is prone to a vulnerability which leads to Heap Overflow.
During the compilation of a malformed regular expression, more data is
written on the malloced block than the expected size output by
compile_regex. Exploits with advanced Heap Fengshui techniques may allow
an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running
the affected application.
