libpcre in PCRE before 8.44 allows an integer overflow via a large number after a (?C substring.
Mitigation: This flaw can be mitigated by not compiling regular expressions with a callout value greater outside of 0-255 or handling the value passed to the callback within the application code.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

What Is DevOps Security? Implement, Challenges, Best Practices | Wiz
## What is DevOps security?
DevOps security integrates security practices within the DevOps process from inception through development, deployment, and operations. It breaks down traditional silos between development, operations, and security teams, promoting a culture of security across all phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
- In its early stages, DevOps focused primarily on integrating development and operations teams to improve the software development process.
- Over time, the scope of DevOps expanded to include security (especially when it comes to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud), giving rise to the term "DevSecOps."
- This integration marks a significant paradigm shift, emphasizing a comprehensive approach where security measures, championed by
