discovered a UTF-8 related heap overflow in Perl's regular expression
compiler, probably allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code by
compiling specially crafted regular expressions.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.8.8-7etch1.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.8.4-8sarge6.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

Some architectures are missing from this DSA; these updates will be
released once they are available.

We recommend that you upgrade your perl package.";
