    Perl-compatible regular expression library.
    PCRE has its own native API, but a set of wrapper functions that are based on     the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that this     just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions     themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file     for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h.

  - CVE-2015-8395: Buffer overflow caused by certain     references(bsc#957598).

  - CVE-2015-2328: PCRE mishandled the /((?(R)a|(?1)))+/     pattern and related patterns with certain recursion,     which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (segmentation fault) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted regular     expression (bsc#957600).

  - CVE-2016-1283: The pcre_compile2 function in     pcre_compile.c in PCRE mishandled certain patterns with     named subgroups, which allowed remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     regular expression (bsc#960837).

  - CVE-2016-3191: The compile_branch function in     pcre_compile.c in pcre2_compile.c mishandled patterns     containing an (*ACCEPT) substring in conjunction with     nested parentheses, which allowed remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service     (stack-based buffer overflow) via a crafted regular     expression (bsc#971741).

These non-security issues were fixed :

  - JIT compiler improvements

  - performance improvements

  - The Unicode data tables have been updated to Unicode     7.0.0.

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - PCRE before 8.36 mishandles the /((?(R)a|(?1)))+/ pattern and related patterns with certain recursion,     which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object     encountered by Konqueror. (CVE-2015-2328)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
