--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-1113 2005-12-01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : perl Version : 5.8.6 Release : 18 Summary : The Perl programming language. Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts. Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fixed CVE-2005-3962 / CVE-2005-3912: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=full-disclosure&m=113342788118630&w=2 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3912 backported upstream patch #26240 --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Dec 1 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.6-18 - fix bug 174684 / CVE-2005-3962: sprintf integer overflow vulnerability backported upstream patch #26240 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/ aa078272889a851aeaf38ff508f89872 SRPMS/perl-5.8.6-18.src.rpm 7e93837ef07b54f5c7c6e7d8b0b20ceb ppc/perl-5.8.6-18.ppc.rpm 0cfeefee1aa0d3c855d6b30fb4760d85 ppc/perl-suidperl-5.8.6-18.ppc.rpm 86f0ba709fdca4f3e8751e13f7612fdb ppc/debug/perl-debuginfo-5.8.6-18.ppc.rpm 6c984a1b3fd930daf5f2662aec10591f x86_64/perl-5.8.6-18.x86_64.rpm 668ff28c97874e5624f87ee1a54f9e21 x86_64/perl-suidperl-5.8.6-18.x86_64.rpm fd9bc2eb001abfddbaa0c7880909e065 x86_64/debug/perl-debuginfo-5.8.6-18.x86_64.rpm 896fedda91d64cdd2fcd52590b856eee i386/perl-5.8.6-18.i386.rpm 2e1d33e6d271418977a573e3e511e88b i386/perl-suidperl-5.8.6-18.i386.rpm f615e50d08621f2986a8994416e1d36e i386/debug/perl-debuginfo-5.8.6-18.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
