NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream yara package and not the yara package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

libyara/re.c in the regex component in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the yr_re_exec function.
