Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 201401-11 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Perl and Locale::Maketext Perl module, the worst of which could allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 5.16.3 are affected.

An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
d121a52e5d21e1a1d884bfa0b4351192f0257e3310ec24006cce477233f1c93aRed Hat Security Advisory 2013-0685-01 - Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system administration utilities and web programming. A heap overflow flaw was found in Perl. If a Perl application allowed user input to control the count argument of the string repeat operator, an attacker could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. A denial of service flaw was found in the way Perl's rehashing code implementation, responsible for recalculation of hash keys and redistribution of hash content, handled certain input. If an attacker supplied specially-crafted input to be used as hash keys by a Perl application, it could cause excessive memory consumption.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

An attacker could use this overflow to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the 'new' constructor in the Digest module is vulnerable to an eval injection. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
