## Description

A stack buffer overflow exists in the ec\_glob function of
editorconfig-core-c before v0.12.6 which allowed an attacker to arbitrarily
write to the stack and possibly allows remote code execution.
editorconfig-core-c v0.12.6 resolved this vulnerability by bound checking
all write operations over the p\_pcre buffer.
