    VRE: bounds check back references in VRE_sub() · 3fdce6cf
    Nils Goroll authored
    Before 6014912e, VRE_sub() used an
    ovector of size 30, which always containted sufficient space to store
    the 10 possible back- references \0 thorugh \9.
    
    Now that we use pcre2_match_data_create_from_pattern() and later
    pcre2_get_ovector_pointer(), we only get space for the number of
    substrings in the pattern, see pcre2api(3):
    
    	The ovector is created to be exactly the right size to hold
    	all the substrings a pattern might capture.
    
    Consequently, we need to check that back references do not exceed the
    maximum ovector.
