1. Summary:
Updated pcre packages that resolve several security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Problem description:
PCRE is a Perl-compatible regular expression library.
