45 |
Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry (Google Security Team) discovered a |
46 |
heap-based buffer overflow in the Regular Expression engine (regcomp.c) |
47 |
that occurs when switching from byte to Unicode (UTF-8) characters in a |
48 |
regular expression. |

<impact type="normal"> |
52 |
<p> |
53 |
A remote attacker could either entice a user to compile a specially |
54 |
crafted regular expression or actively compile it in case the script |
55 |
accepts remote input of regular expressions, possibly leading to the |
56 |
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running |
57 |
Perl. |
58 |
</p> |

<workaround> |
61 |
<p> |
62 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |

67 |
All Perl users should upgrade to the latest version: |

# emerge --sync |

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r4"</code> |
