CVE-2007-1660

Publication date 7 November 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.0 does not properly calculate sizes for unspecified “multiple forms of character class”, which triggers a buffer overflow that allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.
