Name : pcre
Product : Fedora 23
Version : 8.38
Release : 1.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 various bugs when compiling or matching expressions. It also
fixes how pcregrep handles binary files. It also fixes a heap-based buffer
overflow in pcre_exec() when ovector has size 1 (bug #1285415)
