Summary
[none]
Details

In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28, parseregexp in posix/regcomp.c misparses alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) or trigger an incorrect result by attempting a regular-expression match.
