Topic

Updated pcre packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

PCRE is a Perl-compatible regular expression library.

These updated pcre packages fix the following bug:

  • The pcre package update for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6, the RHEA-2011:0022

enhancement advisory linked to in the References section of this advisory,
enabled Unicode properties to support \p{..}, \P{..}, and \X escape sequences.
However, compiling certain regular expressions which contained extended classes
under a non-UTF-8 PCRE mode failed due to the compilation entering an infinite
loop. This has been fixed in this update so that compiling such regular
expressions completes as expected. (BZ#669413)

All users of pcre are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
