patch available.

  - Programs which compile regular expressions from untrusted sources may be vulnerable to memory exhaustion
    or denial of service. The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input, but in some
    cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000, making relatively small regexps consume much larger
    amounts of memory. After fix, each regexp being parsed is limited to a 256 MB memory footprint. Regular
    expressions whose representation would use more space than that are rejected. Normal use of regular
    expressions is unaffected. (CVE-2022-41715)
