"The version of pcre installed on the remote host is prior to 8.21-7.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1767 advisory.

  - 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. (CVE-2015-5073)

  - PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the [: and \\ substrings in character classes, which allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
    crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.
    (CVE-2015-8390)

  - PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the (?(<digits>) and (?(R<digits>) conditions, which allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
    regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.
    (CVE-2015-8394)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
