-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-6110 2008-07-06 04:43:23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : pcre Product : Fedora 9 Version : 7.3 Release : 4.fc9 URL : http://www.pcre.org/ Summary : Perl-compatible regular expression library Description : Perl-compatible regular expression library. PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that are based on the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Jul 4 2008 Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com> - 7.3-4 - Apply Tavis Ormandy's patch for CVE-2008-2371. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #452079 - CVE-2008-2371 pcre: heap overflow caused by incorrect option handling https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452079 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
