Description: nmap contains a copy of the pcre library. Specially crafted regular
expressions could lead to a buffer overflow in the pcre library.
Applications using pcre to process regular expressions from
untrusted sources could therefore potentially be exploited by
attackers to execute arbitrary code.
This update makes nmap use the system's pcre library which was 
already updated to fix the above mentioned problems. Make sure to
also install the pcre update.
