Fiche créée le 2002-09-12 16:02:08, dernière mise à jour le 2008-03-02 23:46:57

ActiveState Perl contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the example script 'findtar' not properly sanitizing user input. This may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected web server. As well the web server must be vulnerable to a directory traversal attack or have the 'findtar' script present in the web root.

There are other scripts that are affected but they are unspecified.
