CVE-2015-2326 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:10 pcre3 to version 2:8.35-7.2 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pcre3 package and not the pcre3 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
The pcre_compile2 function in PCRE before 8.37 allows context-dependent attackers to compile incorrect code and cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via regular expression with a group containing both a forward referencing subroutine call and a recursive back reference, as demonstrated by "((?+1)(\1))/".
