Fedora Core 6 : perl-5.8.8-12 (2007-748)

This update resolves CVE-2007-5116, fixing a security issue with perl's regex parser. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without...

DEBIAN-CVE-2006-7225

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression PCRE library before 6.7 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service error or crash via a regular expression that involves a "malformed POSIX character class", as demonstrated via an invalid character after a sequence...

pcre integer overflow

Integer overflow in Perl-Compatible Regular Expression PCRE library before 6.7 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a regular expression that involves large 1 min, 2 max, or 3 duplength values that cause an incorrect length calculation and trigger a buffer overflo...
