CVE-2015-8384 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.
PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the /(?J)(?'d'(?'d'\g{d}))/ pattern and related patterns with certain recursive back references, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror, a related issue to CVE-2015-8392 and CVE-2015-8395.
