CVE-2007-1662  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 glib2.0 to version 2.14.3-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glib2.0 package and not the glib2.0 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 reads past the end of the string when searching for unmatched brackets and parentheses, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), possibly involving forward references.
