Ubuntu Security Notice USN-173-1 August 23, 2005
pcre3 vulnerability
CAN-2005-2491
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
The following packages are affected:
libpcre3
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 4.5-1.1ubuntu0.4.10 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 4.5-1.1ubuntu0.5.04
(for Ubuntu 5.04).
A standard system upgrade is NOT SUFFICIENT to effect the necessary
changes! If you can afford to reboot your machine, this is the easiest
way to ensure that all services using this library are restarted
correctly. If not, please manually restart all server processes (exim,
Apache, PHP, etc.). It is advised to also restart your desktop
session.
Details follow:
A buffer overflow has been discovered in the PCRE, a widely used
library that provides Perl compatible regular expressions. Specially
crafted regular expressions triggered a buffer overflow. On systems
that accept arbitrary regular expressions from untrusted users, this
could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the application using the library.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog):
