node-re2: re2 provides Node.js bindings for Google's RE2 regular expression engine
CVE-2026-68499 is fixed in node-re2 on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68499 (version 1.26.1+~cs1.7.0-1), released August 15, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
re2 provides Node.js bindings for Google's RE2 regular expression engine. Prior to 1.25.2, re2's String.prototype.match implementation with a global RE2 pattern that can match the empty string fails to advance its native matching cursor in lib/match.cc, causing an infinite loop and unbounded native memory growth that blocks the event loop and can exhaust host memory. This issue is fixed in 1.25.2.
