Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the perl packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in Perl. Release branches 5.34, 5.36, 5.38 and 5.40 are affected, including development versions from 5.33.1 through 5.41.10. When there are non-ASCII bytes in the left-hand-side of the `tr` operator, `S_do_trans_invmap` can overflow the destination pointer `d`.
 $ perl -e '$_ = '\x{FF}' x 1000000; tr/\xFF/\x{100}/;' Segmentation fault (core dumped) It is believed that this vulnerability can enable Denial of Service and possibly Code Execution attacks on platforms that lack sufficient defenses.(CVE-2024-56406)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS perl security advisory.
