PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the /(?=di(?<=(?1))|(?=(.))))/ pattern and
related patterns with an unmatched closing parenthesis, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated
by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.

| tyhicks | Issue affects PCRE3 only Marking ‘low’ since it requires PCRE to operate on untrusted regular expressions which is not very likely Fix for CVE-2015-5073 also fixes this issue |
| mdeslaur | was supposed to be fixed in wily (2:8.35-7ubuntu2) but got reverted in (2:8.35-7ubuntu5) by mistake CVE-2015-2325_CVE-2015-2326_CVE-2015-3210_CVE-2015-5073.patch in jessie |
