Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PCRE2. Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, or have other unspecified impacts.

Workaround
