Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:147 (pcre)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to pcre announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:147. Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered a heap-based buffer overflow when compiling certain regular expression patterns. This could be used by a malicious attacker by sending a specially crafted regular expression to an application using the PCRE library, resulting in the possible execution of arbitrary code or a denial of service (CVE-2008-2371). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, 2008.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2008:147 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
