Revision Date: 2008-03-20 Version: 638 Title: RHSA-2007:0966: perl security update (Important) Description: Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system administration utilities and Web programming. 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. (CVE-2007-5116) Users of Perl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry for properly disclosing this issue.
