rPath Security Advisory: 2007-0232-1 Published: 2007-11-06 Products: rPath Linux 1 Rating: Minor Exposure Level Classification: Local System User Deterministic Weakness Updated Versions: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1/5.8.7-8.2-1
rPath Issue Tracking System: https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1813 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5116 Description: Previous versions of the perl package contain weaknesses when evaluating regular expressions. If a system is serving a perl-based web application that evaluates remote input as a regular expression, an attacker may be be able to exploit these weaknesses to execute arbitrary, attacker-provided code on the system, potentially elevating this to a remote, deterministic unauthorized access vulnerability. In its default configuration, rPath Linux 1 does not enable any perl-based web applications and is thus not vulnerable to this potential unauthorized access. http://wiki.rpath.com/Advisories:rPSA-2007-0232 Copyright 2007 rPath, Inc.
