2017-02-22 13:27:29.729575
——————————————————————————–

Name : pcre
Product : Fedora 24
Version : 8.40
Release : 2.fc24
URL : http://www.pcre.org/
Summary : Perl-compatible regular expression library
Description :
PCRE, Perl-compatible regular expression, library has its own native API, but
a set of wrapper functions that are based on the POSIX API are also supplied
in the libpcreposix library. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling
interface to PCRE: the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax
and semantics. Detailed change log is provided by pcre-doc package.

Update Information:

This release fixes pcregrep multi-line matching with –only-matching option, a
crash when JIT-compiling some patterns (CVE-2017-6004) and a possible buffer
overflow when formatting a pcregrep error message.
