Title:	Ubuntu USN-581-1 (pcre3)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-581-1 (pcre3)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to pcre3 announced via advisory USN-581-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 7.04 Ubuntu 7.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. It was discovered that PCRE did not correctly handle very long strings containing UTF8 sequences.
