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.
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.
