USN-222-1: Perl vulnerability

Posted by Bob on: 12/02/2005 02:42 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

A new Perl vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:




Ubuntu Security Notice USN-222-1 December 02, 2005
perl vulnerability
CVE-2005-3962
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

perl-base

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 5.8.4-2ubuntu0.5 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 5.8.4-6ubuntu1.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.04), or 5.8.7-5ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a
standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Jack Louis of Dyad Security discovered that Perl did not sufficiently
check the explicit length argument in format strings. Specially
crafted format strings with overly large length arguments led to a
crash of the Perl interpreter or even to execution of arbitrary
attacker-defined code with the privileges of the user running the Perl
program.

However, this attack was only possible in insecure Perl programs which
use variables with user-defined values in string interpolations
without checking their validity.


Updated packages for Ubuntu 4.10:
