Summary
=======

A  vulnarability has  been  fixed   in   perl,   which   might   allow  
context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism. 


Description
===========

CVE-2011-1487: 

The (1) lc, (2) lcfirst, (3) uc, and  (4)  ucfirst  functions  in  Perl 
5.10.x, 5.11.x, and 5.12.x through 5.12.3, and 5.13.x through 

5.13.11, do not apply the taint attribute  to  the  return  value  upon 
processing tainted input, which might allow context-dependent attackers 
to bypass the taint protection mechanism via a crafted string. 



Affected packages:

  Pardus 2009:
    perl, all before 5.10.1-31-13


Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for perl. You can update them via Package Manager or
with a single command from console: 

    pisi up perl
