GLSA-201111-09 : Perl Safe module: Arbitrary Perl code injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 56905

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201111-09 (Perl Safe module: Arbitrary Perl code injection)

 Unsafe code evaluation prevents the Safe module from properly restricting the code of implicitly called methods on implicitly blessed objects.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted Perl script, resulting in execution arbitrary Perl code outside of a restricted compartment.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All users of the standalone Perl Safe module should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=perl-core/Safe-2.27' All users of the Safe module bundled with Perl should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=virtual/perl-Safe-2.27' NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since July 18, 2010. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
