The security team received a report from the CERT Coordination Center that the 
Henry Spencer regular expressions (regex) library contains a heap overflow 
vulnerability. It looks like this package includes the affected code at that's 
the reason of this bug report.

Please, can you confirm if the binary packages are affected? Are stable and
