Detail

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

- Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Perl could be made to run programs if it processed a specially crafted Locale::Maketext templates.

Software Description: - perl: Practical Extraction and Report Language

Details:

It was discovered that Perl's Locale::Maketext module incorrectly handled backslashes and fully qualified method names. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code when an application used untrusted templates.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.10:
perl-modules 5.14.2-13ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
perl-modules 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.4

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
perl-modules 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.4

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

Title: Security vulnerability in Perl for AIX
Description: The _compile function in Maketext.pm in the Locale::Maketext implementation in Perl before 5.17.7 does not properly handle backslashes and fully qualified method names during compilation of bracket notation, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted input to an application that accepts translation strings from users, as demonstrated by the TWiki application before 5.1.3, and the Foswiki application 1.0.x through 1.0.10 and 1.1.x through 1.1.6.
