Perl 'win32_stat' function Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

It has been reported that a remote buffer overflow condition in the win32 wrapper to the stat() routine employed by Perl could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service condition or execute arbitrary code. The problem exists in the 'win32_stat' function due to insufficient boundary checking.

Perl versions 5.8.3 and prior for the Windows platforms are reported to be vulnerable to this issue.
