rPath Security Advisory: 2008-0086-1 Published: 2008-02-28 Products: rPath Linux 1 rPath Appliance Platform Linux Service 1 Rating: Major Exposure Level Classification: Remote Unauthorized Access Updated Versions: pcre=conary.rpath.com@rpl:1/7.6-0.1-1 rPath Issue Tracking System: https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2223 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0674 Description: Previous versions of the pcre package are vulnerable to a possible Arbitrary Code Execution attack in which an attacker may use a maliciously crafted regular expression to trigger a buffer overflow. The pcre library and utilities are not known to be exposed via any privileged or remote interfaces within rPath Linux by default, but many applications linked to the pcre library are routinely exposed to remote or untrusted data; examples include httpd, some PHP applications, and various KDE components. http://wiki.rpath.com/Advisories:rPSA-2008-0086 Copyright 2008 rPath, Inc.
