CVE-2019-13225
A NULL Pointer Dereference in match_at() in regexec.c in Oniguruma 6.9.2 allows attackers to potentially cause denial of service by providing a crafted regular expression.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.13%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
