CVE-2006-7227 (CCN-38426)

Assigned:2007-11-07
Published:2007-11-07
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:Integer overflow in Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 6.7 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a regular expression containing a large number of named subpatterns (name_count) or long subpattern names (max_name_size), which triggers a buffer overflow.
Note: this issue was originally subsumed by CVE-2006-7224, but that CVE has been REJECTED and split.
