DSA-800-1 pcre3
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
An integer overflow with subsequent buffer overflow has been detected
in PCRE, the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library, which allows
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.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpcre3 package.
