An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8388 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Oracle Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8388/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8388/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8388","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8388/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8388","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8388","GHSA-5776-327r-qhr3","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8388"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PCRE library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or potential code execution via crafted regular expressions in the PCRE library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"perl_compatible_regular_expression_library","vendor":"pcre"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-185","name":"Incorrect Regular Expression"},{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the /(?=di(?\u003c=(?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.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8388","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"oracle:linux","products":["oracle:linux"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8389"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8387"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-12-02","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Red Hat Automatic Bug Reporting Tool Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-5287","kev_date_added":"2026-08-26","published":"2015-12-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5408","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3812","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2328","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8385","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or potential code execution via crafted regular expressions in the PCRE library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8388/"}
