Alpine: multiple libpcre16 packages, multiple pcre packages: security update to 8.37-r1 (deprecated)
critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401146
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- Heap-based buffer overflow in PCRE 8.34 through 8.37 and PCRE2 10.10 allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by
/^(?P=B)((?P=B)(?J:(?P<B>c)(?P<B>a(?P=B)))>WGXCREDITS)/, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8384.
(CVE-2015-3210)
- PCRE 7.8 and 8.32 through 8.37, and PCRE2 10.10 mishandle group empty matches, which might allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) via a crafted regular expression, as
demonstrated by /^(?:(?(1)\\.|([^\\\\W_])?)+)+$/. (CVE-2015-3217)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the find_fixedlength function in pcre_compile.c in PCRE before 8.38 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or obtain sensitive information from heap memory and
possibly bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted regular expression with an excess closing
parenthesis. (CVE-2015-5073)
