Positive Technologies (AI Summary)

CVSS v2.0

2.1

Low

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Perl version 5.8.0

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the PerlIO implementation. It allows local users to execute arbitrary code by setting the PERLIO DEBUG variable and executing a Perl script with a long directory path.

Recommendations For Perl version 5.8.0, consider avoiding the use of setuid support (sperl) until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the setting of the PERLIO DEBUG variable to minimize the risk of exploitation.
