The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-20 (International Components for Unicode: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Will Drewry (Google Security) reported a vulnerability in the regular expression engine when using back references to capture \\0 characters (CVE-2007-4770). He also found that the backtracking stack size is not limited, possibly allowing for a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-4771).
Impact :
A remote attacker could submit specially crafted regular expressions to an application using the library, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application or a Denial of Service.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
