Medium

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Perl versions 5.10.0 through 5.14.0

Description The issue allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an assertion failure and application exit, via crafted input that is not properly handled when using certain regular expressions. This has been demonstrated by causing applications such as SpamAssassin and OCSInventory to crash.

Recommendations For Perl versions 5.10.0 through 5.14.0, consider disabling debugging mode to prevent the denial of service, as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
