CVE-2026-89158

The pcre2test.c file in PCRE2 version 10.23 contains a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression.

PCRE2 before 10.30 has an out-of-bounds write caused by a stack-based buffer overflow in pcre2_match.c, related to a 'pattern with very many captures.'

In PCRE2 before 10.48, pcre2_serialize_encode might disclose two bytes to an adversary, typically in a situation where the access available to the adversary is already unsafe.

In PCRE2 before 10.48, pcre2_jit_match mishandles a previously copied subject being passed in as a context. An incorrect free operation can occur.

PCRE2 before 10.48 has a pcre2_match out-of-bounds read during the PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF matching of an invalid UTF subject.

PCRE2 before 10.48, on 32-bit platforms, has a pcre2_pattern_convert out-of-bounds write when an attacker can provide a large pattern.

PCRE2 before 10.48 has a pcre2_match out-of-bounds read after a JIT fallback when an attacker can provide invalid UTF data.

PCRE2 before 10.48 has an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in pcre2_dfa_match due to reuse of a cached workspace block without a size check during recursive DFA matching. This requires an attacker-controlled regular expression or a recursive pattern with a small heap limit.
