CVE-2013-7422

Publication date 16 August 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Integer underflow in regcomp.c in Perl before 5.20, as used in Apple OS X before 10.10.5 and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long digit string associated with an invalid backreference within a regular expression.
