Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20454)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the "do_extuni_no_utf in pcre2_jit_compile.c" file when the pattern X is JIT compiled and used to match specially crafted subjects in non-UTF mode. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the affected application.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1587)

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the get_recurse_data_length() function in pcre2_jit_compile.c when handling recursions in JIT-compiled regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the affected application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
