Amendment

The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:19.10.

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl package and not the perl package as distributed by Ubuntu.

regcomp.c in Perl before 5.30.3 allows a buffer overflow via a crafted regular expression because of recursive S_study_chunk calls.
