The compile_branch function in pcre_compile.c in PCRE 8.x and pcre2_compile.c in PCRE2 mishandles patterns containing an substring in conjunction with nested parentheses, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror, aka ZDI-CAN-3542.
