CVE-2015-5073 low priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (pcre3), 6 status rows across 6 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, utopic, vivid, wily): released 5, ignored 1.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the find_fixedlength function in pcre_compile.c in PCRE before 8.38 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or obtain sensitive information from heap memory and possibly bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted regular expression with an excess closing parenthesis.
