            Bug ID: 2480
           Summary: Heap buffer overflow vulnerability in GETCHARLEN()
                    (pcre2_match.c)
           Product: PCRE
           Version: 10.34 (PCRE2)
          Hardware: x86
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: security
          Priority: medium
         Component: Code

Crash input file that triggers the bug

The latest version of PCRE (pcre2-10.34-RC1, pcre2-10.33) is prone to a Heap
Overflow vulnerability which can be triggered using a crafted regular
expression. It could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information,
or cause denial of service. This vulnerability occurs because the library fails
to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data in GETCHARLEN()
(pcre2_match.c), which leads to a heap buffer overflow, causing an out of
bounds memory read, and subsequently resulting into a crash.
