-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2641-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso March 09, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : perl Vulnerability : rehashing flaw Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2013-1667 Debian Bug : 702296 Yves Orton discovered a flaw in the rehashing code of Perl. This flaw could be exploited to carry out a denial of service attack against code that uses arbitrary user input as hash keys. Specifically an attacker could create a set of keys of a hash causing a denial of service via memory exhaustion. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.10.1-17squeeze6. For the testing distribution (wheezy), and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 5.14.2-19. We recommend that you upgrade your perl packages.
