MGASA-2014-0407 - Updated perl-Data-Dumper package fixes CVE-2014-4330

Publication date: 09 Oct 2014
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0407.html

Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 3, 4
CVE: CVE-2014-4330

Description:
Updated perl-Data-Dumper package fixes security vulnerability:

The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, allows context-dependent
attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an
Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large
number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function (CVE-2014-4330).
