| Added | Description | A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in Perl.
When there are non-ASCII bytes in the left-hand-side of the `tr` operator, `S_do_trans_invmap` can overflow the destination pointer `d`. $ perl -e ‘$_ = “x{FF}” x 1000000; tr/xFF/x{100}/;’ It is believed that this vulnerability can enable Denial of Service and possibly Code Execution attacks on platforms that lack sufficient defenses. |
