Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20838)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

libpcre in PCRE before 8.43 allows a subject buffer over-read in JIT when UTF is disabled, and X or R has more than one fixed quantifier, a related issue to CVE-2019-20454.


2) 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.


3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14155)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow. A remote attacker can pass a large number after a (?C substring, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
