DSA-1400-1 perl -- heap overflow

Debian Security Advisory

DSA-1400-1 perl -- heap overflow

Date Reported:

06 Nov 2007

Affected Packages:

perl

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2007-5116.

More information:

Will Drewry and Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team have discovered a UTF-8 related heap overflow in Perl's regular expression compiler, probably allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code by compiling specially crafted regular expressions.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 5.8.4-8sarge6.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 5.8.8-7etch4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

Some architectures are missing from this DSA; these updates will be released once they are available.

We recommend that you upgrade your perl package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
