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 programs could be made to crash or run programs if they receive specially crafted network traffic or other input. Software Description: - perl: Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language Details: It was discovered that the decode_xs function in the Encode module is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow via a crafted Unicode string. An attacker could use this overflow to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2939) It was discovered that the 'new' constructor in the Digest module is vulnerable to an eval injection. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-3597) It was discovered that Perl's 'x' string repeat operator is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5195) Ryo Anazawa discovered that the CGI.pm module does not properly escape newlines in Set-Cookie or P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences Project) headers. An attacker could use this to inject arbitrary headers into responses from applications that use CGI.pm. (CVE-2012-5526) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.10: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 11.10: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: Perl programs need to be restarted after a standard system update to make all the necessary changes.
