Sun Solaris Perl Modules Two Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA13638

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13638/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Sun Solaris 8
http://secunia.com/product/94/

DESCRIPTION:
Sun has acknowledged two vulnerabilities in Solaris, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions
and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) An error in the "Safe.pm" Perl module can be exploited to bypass
certain compartment access controls.

2) Input passed to the "start_form()" function in the "CGI.pm" Perl
module isn't properly sanitised before being returned to users. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities has been reported in Perl module "Safe.pm"
version 2.0.7 and prior, and Perl module "CGI.pm" version 2.752 and
prior.
