Package : libmojolicious-perl Version : 8.12+dfsg-1.1~deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2020-36829

Mojolicious is a Perl Web Application Framework built around the familiar Model-View-Controller philosophy. It supports a simple single file mode via Mojolicious::Lite, RESTful routes, plugins, Perl-ish templates, session management, signed cookies, a testing framework, internationalization, first class Unicode support, and more.

The libmojolicious-perl package had a timing attack vulnerability that allowed an attacker to guess the length of a secret string.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 8.12+dfsg-1.1~deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libmojolicious-perl packages.

For the detailed security status of libmojolicious-perl please refer to its security tracker page at:
