The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A vulnerability has been found and corrected in perl: Heap-based buffer overflow in the Perl_repeatcpy function in util.c in Perl 5.12.x before 5.12.5, 5.14.x before 5.14.3, and 5.15.x before 15.15.5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the 'x' string repeat operator (CVE-2012-5195). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue
