Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0522.html
Issue date: 2008-06-11
CVE Names: CVE-2008-1927
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

3. 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. A specially crafted
regular expression with Unicode characters could trigger a buffer overflow,
causing Perl to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running Perl. (CVE-2008-1927)

Users of perl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

443928 - CVE-2008-1927 perl: heap corruption by regular expressions with utf8 characters
