Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the perl-SOAP-Lite package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKA-2007:009 (perl-SOAP-Lite).

SOAP::Lite makes use of auto-generated methods with names that clash
with methods exported by UNIVERSAL::require. As a result, using the
two modules simultaneously will result in an immediate program crash.
The package has been patched with an upstream fix to correct the issue.
