2.1 LOW — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

ActivePerl 5.8.x and others, and Larry Wall's Perl 5.6.1 and others, when running on Windows systems, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the system command, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. NOTE: it is unclear whether this bug is in Perl or the OS API that is used by Perl.

Affected configurations

• activestate activeperl 5.6.1 • activestate activeperl 5.6.1.630 • activestate activeperl 5.6.2 • activestate activeperl 5.6.3 • activestate activeperl 5.7.1 • activestate activeperl 5.7.2 • activestate activeperl 5.7.3 • activestate activeperl 5.8
