Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0406)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0406 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0406 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated perl package fixes security vulnerability: The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function (CVE-2014-4330). Also, the Text::Wrap version provided in perl contains a bug that can lead to a code path that shouldn't be hit. This can lead to crashes in other software, such as Bugzilla. The Text::Wrap module bundled with Perl has been patched and the Data::Dumper module bundled with Perl has been updated to fix these issues. Affected Software/OS: 'perl' package(s) on Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
