Perl: Denial of Service

Perl: Denial of Service A vulnerability in Perl allows a remote attacker to cause Denial of Service. perl 2015-07-10 2015-07-10: 1 216671 remote 5.20.1-r4 5.20.1-r4

Perl is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language.

S_regmatch() function lacks proper checks before passing arguments to atoi()

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted input, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Perl users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/perl-5.20.1-r4"
