NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-mariadb100-mariadb-oqgraph-engine package and not the rh-mariadb100-mariadb-oqgraph-engine package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the /(?=di(?<=(?1))|(?=(.))))/ pattern and related patterns with an unmatched closing parenthesis, 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.
