NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pcre-tools package and not the pcre-tools package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The compile_bracket_matchingpath function in pcre_jit_compile.c in PCRE through 8.x before revision 1680 (e.g., the PHP 7.1.1 bundled version) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted regular expression.
