Subject Name: Perl Safe.pm Subject Summary: Practical Extraction and Reporting Language Subject Home: http://www.perl.com/ Subject Versions: * <= 5.8.0 Vulnerability Id: none Vulnerability Scope: global (not OpenPKG specific) Attack Feasibility: run-time Attack Vector: local system Attack Impact: privilege escalation Description: Andreas Jurenda discovered [0] a security hole in Safe.pm for Perl [1]. When a Safe compartment has already been used, there's no guarantee that it's safe any longer, because there's a way for code executed within the Safe compartment to alter its operation mask. Programs that use a Safe compartment only once aren't affected by this bug.
