Description |
| 40 |
=========== |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Locale-Maketext module for |
| 43 |
Perl, which can be exploited |
| 44 |
by malicious users to compromise an application using the module. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The vulnerabilities are caused due to the "_compile()" function not |
| 47 |
properly sanitising input, |
| 48 |
which can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary Perl code. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Impact |

| 52 |
|
| 53 |
A remote attacker could possibly execute |
| 54 |
