NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-ruby24-rubygem-bigdecimal package and not the rh-ruby24-rubygem-bigdecimal package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The parse_char_class function in regparse.c in the Onigmo (aka Oniguruma-mod) regular expression library, as used in Ruby 2.4.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deep recursion and application crash) via a crafted regular expression.
