Oracle Solaris Third-Party Patch Update : perl (cve_2014_4330_buffer_errors)

low Nessus Plugin ID 80735

Synopsis

The remote Solaris system is missing a security patch for third-party software.

Description

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

- The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function.
(CVE-2014-4330)

Solution

Upgrade to Solaris 11.2.4.6.0.
