Perl Unicode Regular Expression Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Perl is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently bounds-check user-supplied input. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of Perl applications using regular expressions in a vulnerable manner. This facilitates the remote compromise of affected computers. Perl 5.8 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected. |
