wxwidgets3.2 vendors a copy of pcre2 at:
3rdparty/pcre/src/pcre2_substring.c

This copy predates commit 8156b39 (August 9, 2026) which fixes an
integer overflow in pcre2_substring.c and pcre2_convert.c. The fix
adds an overflow guard:

if (size > ((PCRE2_SIZE_MAX - sizeof(pcre2_memctl)) / CU2BYTES(1)) - 1)
return PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY;

No CVE has been assigned yet. The fix is public at:
https://github.com/PCRE2Project/pcre2/commit/8156b39

Please update the bundled pcre2 to the latest upstream version.
