Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

Perl could be made to stop responding if it received specially crafted input.

Software Description: - perl: Practical Extraction and Report Language

Details:

Yves Orton discovered that Perl incorrectly handled hashing when using user-provided hash keys. An attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack against software written in Perl.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
perl 5.14.2-13ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
perl 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.3

Ubuntu 11.10:
perl 5.12.4-4ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
perl 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.3

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
perl 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.8

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
