[slackware-security] pcre (SSA:2008-210-09)

New pcre packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to
fix a security issue.

More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2371


Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/pcre-7.7-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz:
Upgraded to pcre-7.7.
Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team found a buffer overflow triggered
when handling certain regular expressions. This could lead to a crash or
possible execution of code as the user of the PCRE-linked application.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2371
(* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+


Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
