Fedora Core 4 FEDORA-2005-804 Important: OpenSSL Security Flaw

fedora
Calendar Grey August 24, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important patch for Fedora Core 4 focused on resolving a buffer overflow issue in the pcre library. Acquire the updated version for enhanced security.
Updated package.

Summary

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.

the new package includes a fix for a heap buffer overflow.

- backport patch to fix heap overflow, CAN-2005-2491, #166330
