https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1492093


--- Doc Text *updated* by Cedric Buissart <cbuissar@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
A heap buffer overread was found in perl's grok_bslash_N() function, which is used in the compilation of Unicode nodes in regular expressions, possibly leading to crash or dump of memory segments via the error output. An attacker able to provide a specially crafted regular expression could look for sensible information in the error message, or crash perl.
