*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
pcre3 is the **older** version. pcre2 is the newer version.
nux appears to basically be the last thing in Ubuntu keeping pcre3 in
Ubuntu. pcre3 is a security-sensitive library and is no longer
maintained upstream. pcre2 is enough different from pcre3 that it is
complicated to backport security fixes.
pcre3 is basically only used in Nux/Validator.cpp
** Affects: nux (Ubuntu)
Importance: High
Status: Triaged
