Off-by-one error in the decode_xs function in Unicode/Unicode.xs

might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory corruption) via a crafted Unicode string, which triggers a
heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-2939).
Eval injection in the Digest module before 1.17 for Perl allows
context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the
new constructor (CVE-2011-3597).
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.");
