Foresight Linux Essential Advisory: 2007-0063-1
Published: 2007-11-09
Rating: Minor
Updated Versions:
perl=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/5.8.7-8.2-1
group-dist=/foresight.rpath.org@fl:1-devel//1/1.4.1-0.2-2
References:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5116
Description:
Previous versions of the perl package contain weaknesses when evaluating
regular expressions.
If a system is serving a perl-based web application that evaluates
remote input as a regular expression, an attacker may be be able to
exploit these weaknesses to execute arbitrary, attacker-provided code on
the system, potentially elevating this to a remote, deterministic
unauthorized access vulnerability.
Foresight Linux does not, by default, enable or contain any such services.
