Details
Updated gawk packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Problem Description:
The gawk package contains the GNU version of awk, a text processing utility. Awk
interprets a special-purpose programming language to do quick and easy text
pattern matching and reformatting jobs.
This update fixes the following bug:
* Prior to this update, the "re_string_skip_chars" function incorrectly used the
character count instead of the raw length to estimate the string length. As a
consequence, text in multi-byte encoding that did not use the UTF-8 format
failed to be processed correctly. This update modifies the underlying code so
that the correct string length is used. multi-byte encoding is processed
correctly. (BZ#827372)
All users of gawk requiring multi-byte encodings that do not use UTF-8 are
advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
