Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:0001 advisory.

- perl: Integer overflow leading to buffer overflow in Perl_my_setenv() (CVE-2018-18311)

- perl: Heap-based buffer overflow in S_handle_regex_sets() (CVE-2018-18312)
