DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for perl. This fixes a security issue,
which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.
The security issue is caused due to the Safe module not properly
restricting code in a Safe compartment, which is executed out of the
compartment via a subroutine reference. This can be exploited to
bypass Safe module restrictions and execute arbitrary perl code
outside of a Safe compartment.
SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the apt-get package manager.
