Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:136
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
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.
