Name        : pcre
Product     : Fedora 23
Version     : 8.38
Release     : 6.fc23
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 buffer overflow in handling of nested duplicate named
groups with a nested back reference and a heap buffer overflow in pcretest
causing infinite loop when matching globally with an ovector less than 2.
