Detail
| Integer overflow in the format string functionality (Perl_sv_vcatpvfn) in Perl 5.9.2 and 5.8.6 Perl allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers with large values, which causes an integer wrap and leads to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using format string vulnerabilities in Perl applications. |

| 22255 | OpenBSD Perl Interpreter sprintf Function Local Overflow A local overflow exists in Perl on OpenBSD. The interpreter can be used to cause a buffer overflow. No futher details have been provided. |
| 21345 | Perl Explicit Format Parameter Index Overflow Perl contains a flaw that when handling a format string containing an explicit format parameter index that exceeds INT_MAX which can result in an illegal memory access. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause the crash of a Perl application resulting in a loss of availability. |
