CVE-2015-2328: Oracle Linux

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 5.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

PCRE before 8.36 mishandles the /((?(R)a|(?1)))+/ pattern and related patterns with certain recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.

Affected products

• Oracle Linux: version 7 only
• Pcre Pcre: up to and including 8.35
