The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2916-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain regular expressions with an invalid backreference.
    An attacker could use this issue to cause Perl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-7422)

    Markus Vervier discovered that Perl incorrectly handled nesting in the Data::Dumper module. An attacker     could use this issue to cause Perl to consume memory and crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2014-4330)

    Stephane Chazelas discovered that Perl incorrectly handled duplicate environment variables. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to bypass the taint protection mechanism. (CVE-2016-2381)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Updated perl package fixes security vulnerability :

The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function (CVE-2014-4330).

Also, the Text::Wrap version provided in perl contains a bug that can lead to a code path that shouldn't be hit. This can lead to crashes in other software, such as Bugzilla.

The Text::Wrap module bundled with Perl has been patched and the Data::Dumper module bundled with Perl has been updated to fix these issues.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used     in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent     attackers to cause a denial of service (stack     consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many     nested Array-References, which triggers a large number     of recursive calls to the DD_dump function.
    (CVE-2014-4330)

This update fixes a memory leak and an infinite recursion in Data::Dumper. (CVE-2014-4330)

Updated perl and perl-Data-Dumper packages fixes security vulnerability :

The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function (CVE-2014-4330).

The Data::Dumper module bundled with perl and the perl-Data-Dumper packages has been updated to fix this issue.

This release fixes CVE-2014-4330 (limit recursion when dumping deep data structures) and othe small glitches.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
