Advisory:
========================

Updated tre packages fix security vulnerabilities:

The TRE library allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or
cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a
crafted regular expression (CVE-2015-3796).

A vulnerability has been found in the tre package that could allow an attacker
to perform controlled heap corruption (CVE-2016-8859).
