Name : pcre
Product : Fedora 22
Version : 8.37
Release : 4.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 a heap overflow when compiling certain regular expressions
with named refecences.
