The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl' package(s) announced via the CESA-2021:0343 advisory. Perl is commonly used for system administration utilities and web programming. Security Fix(es): 1. heap-based buffer overflow in regular expression compiler leads to DoS (CVE-2020-10543) 2. corruption of intermediate language state of compiled regular expression due to integer overflow leads to DoS (CVE-2020-10878) 3. corruption of intermediate language state of compiled regular expression due to recursive S_study_chunk() calls leads to DoS (CVE-2020-12723) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section
