VuXML ID	Description
5b47c279-8cb5-11dc-8878-0016179b2dd5	perl -- regular expressions unicode data buffer overflow Red Hat reports: A flaw was found in Perl's regular expression engine. Specially crafted input to a regular expression can cause Perl to improperly allocate memory, possibly resulting in arbitrary code running with the permissions of the user running Perl. Discovery 2007-11-05 Entry 2007-11-06 Modified 2007-11-07 perl perl-threaded gt 5.8.* lt 5.8.8_1 CVE-2007-5116 http://secunia.com/advisories/27546/
4a99d61c-f23a-11dd-9f55-0030843d3802	perl -- Directory Permissions Race Condition Secunia reports: Paul Szabo has reported a vulnerability in Perl File::Path::rmtree, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition in the way File::Path::rmtree handles directory permissions when cleaning up directories. This can be exploited by replacing an existing sub directory in the directory tree with a symbolic link to an arbitrary file. Successful exploitation may allow changing permissions of arbitrary files, if root uses an application using the vulnerable code to delete files in a directory having a world-writable sub directory. Discovery 2005-03-09 Entry 2009-02-03 perl ge 5.8.0 lt 5.8.9 CVE-2005-0448 http://www.ubuntulinux.org/usn/usn-94-1 http://secunia.com/advisories/14531/
bb33981a-7ac6-11da-bf72-00123f589060	perl, webmin, usermin -- perl format string integer wrap vulnerability The Perl Development page reports: Dyad Security recently released a security advisory explaining how in certain cases, a carefully crafted format string passed to sprintf can cause a buffer overflow. This buffer overflow can then be used by an attacker to execute code on the machine. This was discovered in the context of a design problem with the Webmin administration package that allowed a malicious user to pass unchecked data into sprintf.
