TITLE

Perl Vulnerable to out-of-bounds reading

DESCRIPTION

Perl before 5.26.3 has a buffer over-read via a crafted regular expression that triggers disclosure of sensitive information from process memory. Perl Contains an out-of-bounds vulnerability.Information is obtained and service operation is interrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Perl is a free and powerful cross-platform programming language developed by American programmer Larry Wall. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: rh-perl524-perl security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2019:0010-01 Product: Red Hat Software Collections Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:0010 Issue date: 2019-01-02 CVE Names: CVE-2018-18311 CVE-2018-18312 CVE-2018-18313 CVE-2018-18314 ==================================================================== 1.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-perl526-perl (5.26.3), rh-perl526-perl-Module-CoreList (5.20181130). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2018-18311 Jayakrishna Menon and Christophe Hauser discovered an integer overflow vulnerability in Perl_my_setenv leading to a heap-based buffer overflow with attacker-controlled input. CVE-2018-18312 Eiichi Tsukata discovered that a crafted regular expression could cause a heap-based buffer overflow write during compilation, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.24.1-3+deb9u5. We recommend that you upgrade your perl packages. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201909-01 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: Perl: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: September 06, 2019 Bugs: #653432, #670190 ID: 201909-01 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Perl, the worst of which could result in the arbitrary execution of code.
