Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-136

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-136
Posted Mar 30, 2015
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-136 - The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function. Also, the Text::Wrap version provided in perl contains a bug that can lead to a code path that shouldn't be hit. This can lead to crashes in other software, such as Bugzilla. The Text::Wrap module bundled with Perl has been patched and the Data::Dumper module bundled with Perl has been updated to fix these issues.

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : perl
Date : March 29, 2015
Affected: Business Server 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated perl package fixes security vulnerability:

The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1
and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of
service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many
nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive
calls to the DD_dump function (CVE-2014-4330).

Also, the Text::Wrap version provided in perl contains a bug that can
lead to a code path that shouldn't be hit. This can lead to crashes
in other software, such as Bugzilla.

The Text::Wrap module bundled with Perl has been patched and the
Data::Dumper module bundled with Perl has been updated to fix these
issues.
