FYI NMAP Started to consider pcre2 due to the bug, but they have zillions of regrex use cases and it would be a major effort that doesn't seem to happen anytime soon.
Freeradius implemented pcre2 due to our bug in https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/commit/9a97b9c2fbc84f9f13c127c2a78b5808de2b6ae2 This is so far only valid for 4.x which isn't released - might be backported to 3.0.18 if upstream wants to do so. Therefore a huge step, but not enough yet to call it triaged here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to grep in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792544 Title: demotion of pcre3 (8.x) a.k.a pcre (without the 3) in favor of pcre2 (10.x) Status in aide package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu: New Status in apr-util package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in clamav package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in exim4 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in freeradius package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in git package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in grep package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in haproxy package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in libpam-mount package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in libselinux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in nginx package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in nmap package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in pcre3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in php7.2 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in php7.3 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in postfix package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in python-pyscss package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in quagga package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in rasqal package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in slang2 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in sssd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in wget package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in zsh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: demotion of pcre3 in favor of pcre2.
