Name        : pcre
Product     : Fedora 22
Version     : 8.37
Release     : 7.fc22
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 CVE-2015-8380 (a heap-based buffer overflow in pcre_exec()
when ovector has size 1).  ----  This release fixes a crash when compiling an
expression with long (*MARK) or (*THEN) names. It also fixes compiling a POSIX
character class followed by a single ASCII character in a class item while UCP
mode is active. It also fixes mismatching characters in the range 128-255
against [:punct:] in UCP mode.
