DSA-800-1 pcre3 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment An integer overflow with subsequent buffer overflow has been detected in PCRE, the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library, which permits a possible hacker to execute arbitrary code. Since several packages link dynamically to this library you are advised to restart the corresponding services or programs respectively. The command &ldquo apt-cache showpkg libpcre3&rdquo will list the corresponding packages in the "Reverse Depends:" section. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.4-1.1woody1. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.5-1.2sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 6.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your libpcre3 package.
