CVE Severity
Our Official Summary
This vulnerability requires a crafted regular expression to exploit in PCRE (Perl Regular Controlled Expressions). Risk of exploitation of this vulnerability for our products is low, since accessing the match function in pcre library requires attacker to have privileged access to the containers and do not allow arbitrary code to be run on them. Impact of exploitation is also low since containers have a limited attack surface. Third party containers in which this vulnerability is reported do not have an upstream fix. We will upgrade the images once the upstream fix becomes available.
