Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0527)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl, perl-Encode' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0527 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl, perl-Encode' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0527 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Encode.pm, as distributed in Perl through 5.34.0, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Encode::ConfigLocal library (in the current working directory) that preempts dynamic module loading. Exploitation requires an unusual configuration, and certain 2021 versions of Encode.pm (3.05 through 3.11). This issue occurs because the operator evaluates @INC in a scalar context, and thus @INC has only an integer value. Affected Software/OS: 'perl, perl-Encode' package(s) on Mageia 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
