Echo: perl: security update to 5.40.1-6+e18

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 465154

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - IO::Uncompress::Unzip versions before 2.215 for Perl propagate uncaught exception when parsing zip header
 with malformed DOS date. _dosToUnixTime() decodes the local-file-header last-modification date field and
 calls Time::Local::timelocal() without an eval guard. A header whose date field decodes to an out-of-range
 month, day, or hour causes timelocal() to die. The exception propagates out of
 IO::Uncompress::Unzip->new($file) where callers expect undef plus $UnzipError. (CVE-2025-15649)

Solution

Update the perl library and its related packages to version 5.40.1-6+e18 or later.
