--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-1116 2005-12-01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : perl Version : 5.8.5 Release : 18.FC3 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: Fixes security vulnerabilites: CVE-2005-3962: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=full-disclosure&m=113342788118630&w=2 CVE-2005-3912: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3912 CVE-2005-0452: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0452 CVE-2004-0976: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0976 --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Dec 1 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.5-18.FC3 - fix bug 174683 / CVE-2005-3962: sprintf integer overflow vulnerability backport upstream patch #26240 * Wed Nov 9 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.5-17 - fix bug 136009: restore MakeMaker support for LD_RUN_PATH, while removing empty LD_RUN_PATH * Tue Nov 8 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.5-17 - fix CAN-2004-0976: insecure use of temporary files * Wed Nov 2 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.5-17 - fix bug 164772: panic (crash) on invalid UTF-8 in Encode.xs - fix bug 172327 / upstream bug 37056: backport upstream patch 25084: prevent realloc recursion on nss get* ERANGE errno * Tue Nov 1 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.5-17 - fix bug 170088: broken h2ph fixed with h2ph from 5.8.7 - fix bug 171111 / upstream bug 37535: IOCPARM_LEN should be _IOC_SIZE - fix bug 172236: make h2ph pick up gcc built-in include directory * Tue Aug 2 2005 Petr Rockai <prockai@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.5-16 - update filter-depends.sh to get rid of FCGI requires * Wed Jul 27 2005 Petr Rockai <prockai@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3:5.8.5-15 - remove incorrect Provides on FCGI and Mac::File, cf.
