Topic

Updated grep packages that fix two bugs are now available.

Description

Grep searches through textual input for lines matching a regular expression.

This update resolves the following bugs:

  • Some binary files could cause grep to fail with "memory exhausted".
  • When the empty pattern was the last in a list of more than one pattern to

match against it would not be used for matching.

All users of grep should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
