Description Petr Pisar 2011-05-09 12:26:35 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #702623 +++

E.g. pcretest input:

/(ȺȺȺ)?\1/8i
    ȺȺȺⱥⱥ

should not match (the thirds lower `ⱥ' is missing) but pcre <= 8.12 states falsely:

 0: \x{23a}\x{23a}\x{23a}\x{2c65}\x{2c65}
 1: \x{23a}\x{23a}\x{23a}

This is fixed in development SVN tree in commits

Simple testcase

This performs a case from upstream test suite. See into the patch for more cases.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-05-09 12:47:42 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2011-10-27 08:33:35 UTC
The upstream fix is hard to back-port to 7.8. See cloning bug for the effort.

Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2014-10-21 12:36:12 UTC
Because porting a fix for this bug very difficult, we will not fix it issue.
