Ubuntu Security Notice 1643-1 - It was discovered that the decode_xs function in the Encode module is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow via a crafted Unicode string. An attacker could use this overflow to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the 'new' constructor in the Digest module is vulnerable to an eval injection. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-009 - Eval injection in the Digest module before 1.17 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the new constructor. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-008 - Off-by-one error in the decode_xs function in Unicode/Unicode.xs in the Encode module before 2.44, as used in Perl before 5.15.6, might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted Unicode string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. Eval injection in the Digest module before 1.17 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the new constructor. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1797-01 - Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system administration utilities and web programming. It was found that the "new" constructor of the Digest module used its argument as part of the string expression passed to the eval() function. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary Perl code with the privileges of a Perl program that uses untrusted input as an argument to the constructor. It was found that the Perl CGI module used a hard-coded value for the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially-crafted HTTP request.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1424-01 - Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system administration utilities and web programming. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Perl decoded Unicode strings. An attacker could create a malicious Unicode string that, when decoded by a Perl program, would cause the program to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the program. It was found that the "new" constructor of the Digest module used its argument as part of the string expression passed to the eval() function. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary Perl code with the privileges of a Perl program that uses untrusted input as an argument to the constructor.
