Title:RHSA-2007:1052: pcre security update (Important)
Description:PCRE is a Perl-compatible regular expression library.

  • Flaws were found in the way PCRE handles certain malformed regular expressions. If an application linked against PCRE, such as Konqueror, parses a malicious regular expression, it may be possible to run arbitrary code as the user running the application. (CVE-2005-4872, CVE-2006-7227)

    Users of PCRE are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues.
