NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream erlang package and not the erlang package as distributed by Ubuntu.
An issue was discovered in Erlang/OTP 18.x. Erlang's generation of compiled regular expressions is vulnerable to a heap overflow. Regular expressions using a malformed extpattern can indirectly specify an offset that is used as an array index. This ordinal permits arbitrary regions within the erts_alloc arena to be both read and written to.
