Fedora alert FEDORA-2008-3399 (perl)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-3399 2008-04-29 20:29:23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : perl Product : Fedora 7 Version : 5.8.8 Release : 29.fc7 URL : http://www.perl.org/ Summary : The Perl programming language Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts. Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Apr 29 2008 Marcela Maslanova <mmaslano@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-29 - CVE-2008-1927 buffer overflow, when unicode character is used. * Thu Jan 31 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-28 - create /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/auto and own it in base perl (resolves bugzilla 214580) * Mon Nov 26 2007 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-27 - break dep loop, fix bugzilla 397881 * Mon Nov 12 2007 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-26 - fix for CVE-2007-5116 * Thu Oct 25 2007 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-25 - patch from perl bug 24254, fix for RH bz 114271 * Mon Oct 1 2007 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-24 - update DB_File to 1.815 * Sat Aug 18 2007 Stepan Kasal <skasal@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-23 - Remove unnnecessary parens from the License tags. * Sat Aug 18 2007 Stepan Kasal <skasal@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-22 - Fix the License: tags. * Fri Aug 17 2007 Stepan Kasal <skasal@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-21 - Apply patch to skip hostname tests, since hostname lookup isn't available in Fedora buildroots by design. * Fri Aug 17 2007 Stepan Kasal <skasal@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-20 - perl rpm requires the corresponding version of perl-libs rpm - Resolves: rhbz#240540 * Fri Jun 22 2007 Robin Norwood <rnorwood@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-19 - Resolves: rhbz#196836 - Apply upstream patch #28775, which fixes an issue where reblessing overloaded objects incurs significant performance penalty -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #443928 - CVE-2008-1927 perl: double free on regular expressions with utf8 characters https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443928 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
