    Net::IDN::Punycode versions before 2.590 for Perl allow an out-of-bounds read via integer overflow of the
    delta accumulator in encode_punycode. This also leak the output buffer on every rejected label in
    decode_punycode.

    This update fixes both issues (and others).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.
