Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2005-4872 low priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (pcre3), 5 status rows across 5 suites (dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, upstream): not-affected 4, released 1.
Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 6.2 does not properly count the number of named capturing subpatterns, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a regular expression with a large number of named subpatterns, which triggers a buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue was originally subsumed by CVE-2006-7224, but that CVE has been REJECTED and split.
