Description
Glib2 contains a copy of the pcre library. Specially
crafted regular expressions could lead to a buffer overflow
in the pcre library. Applications using pcre to process
regular expressions from untrusted sources could therefore
potentially be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary
code (CVE-2007-1659, CVE-2007-1660). This update makes
glib2 use the system’s pcre library which was already
updated to fix the above mentioned problems.
