This release fixes a heap buffer overflow in handling of nested duplicate named groups with a nested back reference and a heap buffer overflow in pcretest causing infinite loop when matching globally with an ovector less than 2.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
