EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.2 : perl (EulerOS-SA-2020-2229)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 141666

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the perl packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following 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)

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

Solution

Update the affected perl package.
