Title:	Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:008 (perl)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to perl announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:008. Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in perl: Off-by-one error in the decode_xs function in Unicode/Unicode.xs in the Encode module before 2.44, as used in Perl before 5.15.6, might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Unicode string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-2939). Eval injection in the Digest module before 1.17 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the new constructor (CVE-2011-3597). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: 2010.1, 2011. Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2012:008 Risk factor : High
