Description
- Previous versions of the pcre package are vulnerable to a possible
- Arbitrary Code Execution attack in which an attacker may use a
- maliciously crafted regular expression to trigger a buffer overflow.
- The pcre library and utilities are not known to be exposed via any
- privileged or remote interfaces within rPath Linux by default, but many
- applications linked to the pcre library are routinely exposed to remote
- or untrusted data; examples include httpd and some PHP applications.
