RHSA-2007%3A1052
Updated pcre packages that correct security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 15 November 2007] Further analysis of these flaws in PCRE has led to the single CVE identifier CVE-2006-7224 being split into three separate identifiers and a re-analysis of the risk of each of the flaws. We are therefore updating the text of this advisory to use the correct CVE names for the two flaws fixed by these erratum packages, and downgrading the security impact of this advisory from critical to important. No changes have been made to the packages themselves.
