This update for pcre to version 8.39 (bsc#972127) fixes several issues.
If you use pcre extensively please be aware that this is an update to a new version. Please
make sure that your software works with the updated version.
This version fixes a number of vulnerabilities that affect pcre
and applications using the libary when accepting untrusted input
as regular expressions or as part thereof. Remote attackers could
have caused the application to crash, disclose information or
potentially execute arbitrary code. These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2014-8964: Heap-based buffer overflow in PCRE allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or have other unspecified impact via a crafted regular expression, related to an assertion that allows zero repeats (bsc#906574).
- CVE-2015-2325: Heap buffer overflow in compile_branch() (bsc#924960).
- CVE-2015-3210: Heap buffer overflow in pcre_compile2() / compile_regex() (bsc#933288)

- CVE-2015-5073: Library Heap Overflow Vulnerability in find_fixedlength() (bsc#936227).
- bsc#942865: heap overflow in compile_regex()
- CVE-2015-8380: The pcre_exec function in pcre_exec.c mishandled a // pattern with a \01 string, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror (bsc#957566).
- CVE-2015-2327: PCRE mishandled certain patterns with internal recursive back references, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror (bsc#957567).
