Fedora Core 3 2005-1145: perl |
||
Check for the version of the perl package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2005-1145 (perl). Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts. Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts. Update Information: o Updated upstream fix for sprintf integer overflow vulnerabilities CVE-2005-3962 and CVE-2005-3912, including new Sys::Syslog 0.08 o Updated fix fo bug 136009 / MakeMaker LD_RUN_PATH issue: restore previous default Red Hat behavior of removing the MakeMaker generated LD_RUN_PATH setting from the link command . Document this removal, as it contravenes upstream default behavior, and provide a USE_MM_LD_RUN_PATH MakeMaker member to enable use of the MakeMaker generated LD_RUN_PATH .
