| 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. |
