vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow via a crafted Unicode string.
An attacker could use this overflow to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-2939)
It was discovered that the 'new' constructor in the Digest module is
vulnerable to an eval injection. An attacker could use this to execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-3597)
It was discovered that Perl's 'x' string repeat operator is vulnerable
to a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker could use this to execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5195)
Ryo Anazawa discovered that the CGI.pm module does not properly escape
newlines in Set-Cookie or P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences Project)
headers. An attacker could use this to inject arbitrary headers into
responses from applications that use CGI.pm. (CVE-2012-5526)";
