-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-65833b5dbc 2016-03-01 22:06:21.359555 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pcre Product : Fedora 23 Version : 8.38 Release : 6.fc23 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
This release fixes a heap buffer overflow in handling of nested duplicate named groups with a nested back reference and a heap buffer overflow in pcretest causing infinite loop when matching globally with an ovector less than 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
