Denial Of Service (DoS)

perl is vulnerable to denial of service DoS attacks. The vulnerability exists through a heap-based buffer overflow in the Perlrepeatcpy 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...

perl: heap buffer overrun flaw may lead to arbitrary code execution

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Perlrepeatcpy 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 repea...

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Perlrepeatcpy 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 repea...

USN-1643-1: Perl vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the decodexs function in the Encode module is 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...
