CVE-2010-4777

The Perl_reg_numbered_buff_fetch function in Perl 5.10.0, 5.12.0, 5.14.0,
and other versions, when running with debugging enabled, allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure
and application exit) via crafted input that is not properly handled when
using certain regular expressions, as demonstrated by causing SpamAssassin
and OCSInventory to crash.
