-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BACKGROUND:

  Tavis Ormandy discovered that PCRE, the Perl-Compatible Regular Expression
  library, may encounter a heap overflow condition when compiling certain
  regular expressions involving in-pattern options and branches, potentially
  leading to arbitrary code execution.

SOLUTION:

  We recommend that you update the affected packages immediately.

  Upgrading using apt:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list (if it doesn't
  contain this line already)

  ZorpOS version 3.1:

    deb https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@apt.balabit.hu/zorp-os \
      zorp-os-3.1/3.1security zorp-os zorp-os-extra

  ZorpOS version 3.3:

    deb https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@apt.balabit.hu/zorp-os \
      zorp-os-3.3/3.3security zorp-os zorp-os-extra

  then issue the following commands as root:

  apt-get update

  apt-get -u upgrade

  The latest upgrades will be downloaded and installed.
