The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl' package(s) announced via the USN-1129-1 advisory. It was discovered that the Safe.pm Perl module incorrectly handled Safe::reval and Safe::rdo access restrictions. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended restrictions and possibly execute arbitrary code. It was also discovered that the CGI.pm Perl module incorrectly handled certain MIME boundary strings allowing injection of arbitrary HTTP headers and performance of HTTP response splitting and cross-site scripting attacks. This issue specifically affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 8.04 LTS, 10.04 LTS, and 10.10, as well as the lc, lcfirst, uc, and ucfirst functions did not properly apply the taint attribute when processing tainted input. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended restrictions. This issue affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 10.04 LTS, and 10.10
