Heap-based buffer overflow in the find_fixedlength function in
pcre_compile.c in PCRE before 8.38 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) or obtain sensitive information from heap memory
and possibly bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted regular
expression with an excess closing parenthesis.
