pcre2 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

PCRE could be made to expose sensitive information.

Software Description:
- pcre2: Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library

Details:

It was discovered that PCRE incorrectly handled memory when
handling certain regular expressions. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause applications using PCRE to expose
sensitive information.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
   libpcre2-16-0                   10.39-3ubuntu0.1
   libpcre2-32-0                   10.39-3ubuntu0.1
   libpcre2-8-0                    10.39-3ubuntu0.1
   libpcre2-posix3                 10.39-3ubuntu0.1
   pcre2-utils                     10.39-3ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
   libpcre2-16-0                   10.34-7ubuntu0.1
   libpcre2-32-0                   10.34-7ubuntu0.1
   libpcre2-8-0                    10.34-7ubuntu0.1
   libpcre2-posix2                 10.34-7ubuntu0.1
   pcre2-utils                     10.34-7ubuntu0.1

After a standard system update you need to restart applications using PCRE,
such as the Apache HTTP server and Nginx, to make all the necessary
changes.
