     Fiche

Fiche créée le 2005-05-17 05:27:04, dernière mise à jour le 2008-03-02 23:51:53

A local overflow exists in ActivePerl for Win32. The interpreter fails to do proper bounds checking on input to the system()function resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause an interpreter crash resulting in a loss of availability. It may be possible to manipulate the input so as to cause execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
