--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-802 2005-08-24 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : pcre Version : 4.5 Release : 3.1.1.fc3 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: the new package includes a fix for a heap buffer overflow. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Fri Aug 19 2005 Than Ngo <than@redhat.com> 4.5-3.1.1.fc3 - backport patch to fix heap overflow, CAN-2005-2491, #166330 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/u... cfca595b559afe8d33cbc39ab744d6db SRPMS/pcre-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.src.rpm 9f498d84c73b744cd03b2b93aca582c6 x86_64/pcre-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.x86_64.rpm 344d94e5b5b64c6422c71fec331dd94c x86_64/pcre-devel-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.x86_64.rpm 08efe09b0a59fcff8df2b42a1b64309a x86_64/debug/pcre-debuginfo-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.x86_64.rpm 81729fbca4064dd687bab07ae6cf9fd1 x86_64/pcre-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.i386.rpm 81729fbca4064dd687bab07ae6cf9fd1 i386/pcre-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.i386.rpm 35b406ce33a16b67b73a600ab5cb5b3e i386/pcre-devel-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.i386.rpm 14c8d8b5d8dec038bd54f9e16668d5da i386/debug/pcre-debuginfo-4.5-3.1.1.fc3.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
