RHBA-2014:0622 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
grep bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated grep packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
The grep utility searches through textual input for lines which contain a match
to a specified pattern and then prints the matching lines. GNU grep utilities
include grep, egrep and fgrep.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the grep utility did not request processing of UTF-8 from the
Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE) library if a UTF-8 locale was in
effect. As a consequence, Unicode symbols were not correctly matched if a Perl
regular expression (the "-P" option) was used with a UTF-8 locale. This update
adds a request for UTF-8 processing to the PCRE library, and grep now correctly
handles Unicode symbols in the described situation. (BZ#683753)
Users of grep are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.
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
