+ <background>
+ <p>
+ PCRE is a Perl-compatible regular expression library. GLib includes a
+ copy of PCRE.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security team reported a heap-based buffer
+ overflow when compiling regular expression patterns containing
+ "Internal Option Settings" such as "<i>(?i)</i>".
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a
+ specially crafted regular expression to an application making use of
+ the PCRE library, which could possibly lead to the execution of
+ arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PCRE users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libpcre-7.7-r1"</code>

+ All GLib users should upgrade to the latest version:
