Package: alpine
Severity: important
Tags: security patch
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.
The patch is available here:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blobdiff/4d133046c59a851141519d03553a70e903b3eefc..2841837793bd095a82f477e9c370cfe6cfb3862c:/lib/libc/regex/regcomp.c
Please, can you confirm if the binary packages are affected? Are stable and
testing affected?

https://guidovranken.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/full-disclosure-heap-overflow-in-h-spencers-regex-library-on-32-bit-systems/
A CVE id has been requested already and the report will be updated with it
eventually.
Cheers, luciano

The configure scripts selects the regex code from glibc, so this doesn't
affect Debian.
Asheesh, it would still be useful to forward this upstream so that they
update the local copy for the benefit of people not using glibc.
