NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-php56-php-cli package and not the rh-php56-php-cli package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The pcre_compile function in pcre_compile.c in PCRE before 8.38 mishandles certain [: nesting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.
