-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2641-2 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso March 20, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : libapache2-mod-perl2 Debian Bug : 702821 The security fix applied to the perl package due to CVE-2013-1667 introduced a test failure in libapache2-mod-perl2 source package specific to the rehash mechanism in Perl. See Debian Bug #702821 for details. This update fixes that problem. For reference, the original advisory text for perl follows. 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 2.0.4-7+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.7-3. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.7-3.
