RHBA-2008:0202 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
sed bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated sed package that fixes a bug in sed substitutions is now
available.
Description
Sed is a stream or batch (non-interactive) editor. Sed takes text as
input, performs an operation or set of operations on the text, and outputs
the modified text.
This updated package addresses the following issue:
- the "\u" operand in substitution expressions returned nothing but a
blank carriage return. It should return the input characters transformed to
their upper case equivalents. In this new package, the "\u" sequence now
acts as expected.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated sed package, which resolves
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
