pcre enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated pcre packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

PCRE is a Perl-compatible regular expression library.

This update adds the following enhancement:

• To allow the grep utility to recover from PCRE matching failures if the binary
  file is not a valid UTF-8 sequence, the following features have been backported
  to the PCRE library:
  
• The pcre_exec() function now checks for out-of-range starting offset values
  and reports PCRE_ERROR_BADOFFSET errors instead of reporting PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH
  errors or looping infinitely.
  
• If the pcre_exec() function is called to perform a UTF-8 match on an invalid
  UTF-8 subject string and the ovector array argument is large enough, the offset
  of the first subject string in the invalid UTF-8 byte, as well as the detailed
  reason code, are returned in the ovector array element. In addition, the
  "pcretest" utility can now be used to display these details. Note that with this
  update, the pcre_compile() function reports first invalid UTF-8 byte instead of
  the last byte.
  

Also note that the signature of the pcre_valid_utf8() function, which is not
intended for public use, has been changed. Finally, note that "pcretest" now
appends human-readable error messages to error codes. (BZ#1193524)

Users of pcre are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this
enhancement.

Solution
