Category:Gentoo Local Security Checks
Title:Gentoo Security Advisory GLSA 201310-01
Summary:Gentoo Linux Local Security Checks GLSA 201310-01
Description:Summary:
Gentoo Linux Local Security Checks GLSA 201310-01

Vulnerability Insight:
The cpansign verify command will automatically download keys and use them to check the signature of CPAN packages via the SIGNATURE file. If an attacker were to replace this (SHA1) with a special unknown cipher (e.g. Special) and were to include in the distribution a Digest/Special.pm, the code in this Perl module would be executed when cpansign -verify is run.

Solution:
Update the affected packages to the latest available version.

CVSS Score:
