Advisory ID MDVSA-2008:053

Problem Description

A buffer overflow in PCRE 7.x before 7.6 allows remote attackers
to execute arbitrary code via a regular expression that contains a
character class with a large number of characters with Unicode code
points greater than 255.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
