{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10253","details":"An issue was discovered in Erlang/OTP 18.x. Erlang's generation of compiled regular expressions is vulnerable to a heap overflow. Regular expressions using a malformed extpattern can indirectly specify an offset that is used as an array index. This ordinal permits arbitrary regions within the erts_alloc arena to be both read and written to.","modified":"2026-09-01T16:04:06.942317226Z","published":"2017-03-18T20:59:00.127Z","upstream":["CVE-2016-10253"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-10253"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"erlang","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/erlang?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:19.2.1+dfsg-2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10253.json"}},{"package":{"name":"erlang","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/erlang?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:19.2.1+dfsg-2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10253.json"}},{"package":{"name":"erlang","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/erlang?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:19.2.1+dfsg-2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2016-10253.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
