Last modified

CVE-2008-1026 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the PCRE regular expression compiler (JavaScriptCore/pcre/pcre_compile.cpp) in Apple WebKit, as used in Safari before 3.1.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a regular expression with large, nested repetition counts, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 4.75% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
