Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Perl Locale-Maketext module, allowing remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary Perl code.

Background

Locale-Maketext - Perl framework for localization

Description

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Locale-Maketext module for Perl, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise an application using the module.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to the "_compile()" function not properly sanitising input, which can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary Perl code.

Impact

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All users of the Perl Locale-Maketext module should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=perl-core/locale-maketext-1.230.0"
