CVE-2015-2325 (2020-01-14)

The compile_branch function in PCRE before 8.37 allows context-dependent attackers to compile incorrect code, cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read and crash), or possibly have other unspecified impact via a regular expression with a group containing a forward reference repeated a large number of times within a repeated outer group that has a zero minimum quantifier.

CVE-2015-2326 (2020-01-14)

The pcre_compile2 function in PCRE before 8.37 allows context-dependent attackers to compile incorrect code and cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via regular expression with a group containing both a forward referencing subroutine call and a recursive back reference, as demonstrated by "((?+1)(\1))/".

CVE-2015-8382 (2015-12-02)

The match function in pcre_exec.c in PCRE before 8.37 mishandles the /(?:((abcd))|(((?:(?:(?:(?:abc|(?:abcdef))))b)abcdefghi)abc)|((*ACCEPT)))/ pattern and related patterns involving (*ACCEPT), which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (partially initialized memory and application crash) via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror, aka ZDI-CAN-2547.

CVE-2007-1659 (2007-11-07)

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via regex patterns containing unmatched "\Q\E" sequences with orphan "\E" codes.

CVE-2007-1661 (2007-11-07)

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 backtracks too far when matching certain input bytes against some regex patterns in non-UTF-8 mode, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (crash), as demonstrated by the "\X?\d" and "\P{L}?\d" patterns.

CVE-2007-1662 (2007-11-07)

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 reads past the end of the string when searching for unmatched brackets and parentheses, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), possibly involving forward references.

CVE-2007-4766 (2007-11-07)

Multiple integer overflows in Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via unspecified escape (backslash) sequences.

CVE-2007-4767 (2007-11-07)

Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 does not properly compute the length of (1) a \p sequence, (2) a \P sequence, or (3) a \P{x} sequence, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or crash) or execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2007-4768 (2007-11-07)

Heap-based buffer overflow in Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library before 7.3 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a singleton Unicode sequence in a character class in a regex pattern, which is incorrectly optimized.

NAME

pugs - Pragma for using Perl 6 inside Perl 5

SYNOPSIS

#!/usr/bin/perl
use pugs;   # Here is some Perl 6 code...
sub postfix:<!> { [*] 1..$_ }
sub sum_factorial { [+] 0..$_! }
no pugs;    # Here is some Perl 5 code...
print sum_factorial(3); # 21

DESCRIPTION

The pugs module lets you put Perl 6 code in Perl 5 source code after a line of:

use pugs;

To switch back to Perl 5:

no pugs;
