CVE-2017-9226 medium priority: Ubuntu including 4 source packages (libonig, php5, php7.0, php7.1), 25 status rows across 7 suites (artful, bionic, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): DNE 11, released 6, needs-triage 4, ignored 3, not-affected 1.
An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP through 7.1.5. A heap out-of-bounds write or read occurs in next_state_val() during regular expression compilation. Octal numbers larger than 0xff are not handled correctly in fetch_token() and fetch_token_in_cc(). A malformed regular expression containing an octal number in the form of '\700' would produce an invalid code point value larger than 0xff in next_state_val(), resulting in an out-of-bounds write memory corruption.
