Description:
The sed (Stream EDitor) editor 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.  The operations
that sed performs (substitutions, deletions, insertions, etc.) can be
specified in a script file or from the command line.

sed-4.5-5.el8_10.x86_64 [297 KiB] Changelog by Jakub Martisko (2026-01-23):
- lib/dfa.c: Increase the maximum size of the transitions table
- After changes introduced between sed 4.2 and 4.4, some regexps
  started to hit the table size limits. This lead to repeated deletion
  and rebuilding of the table, leading to massive performance drops.
  While the core issue is still present, this change should at least
  help by moving the threshold of the regexp complexity that triggers the 
  table rebuilds.
- Resolves: RHEL-17133
