Name : perl Product : Fedora 12 Version : 5.10.0 Release : 91.fc12 URL : http://www.perl.org/ Summary : Practical Extraction and Report Language Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts. Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Jul 21 2010 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-91 - CVE-2010-1168 perl Safe: Intended restriction bypass via object references - CVE-2010-1447 perl: Safe restriction bypass when reference to subroutine in compartment is called from outside - 576824 RT#73814 - unpack() didn't handle scalar context correctly - Resolves: rhbz#588269, rhbz#576508 * Fri Jul 9 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-90 - Add Digest::SHA requirement to perl-CPAN and perl-CPANPLUS (bug #612563) * Wed Jul 7 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-89 - Fix perl-5.10.0-Encode-err.patch patch to be applicable - Fix incorrect return code on failed extraction by upgrading Archive::Tar to 1.62 (bug #607687) * Wed Mar 17 2010 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-88 - rebuild, e.g. Patch62 is missing in koji build * Tue Dec 1 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-87 - fix patch-update-Compress-Raw-Zlib.patch (did not patch Zlib.pm) - update Compress::Raw::Zlib to 2.023 - update IO::Compress::Base, and IO::Compress::Zlib to 2.015 (#542645) * Mon Nov 30 2009 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-86 - 542645 update IO-Compress-Base * Tue Nov 24 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-85 - back out perl-5.10.0-spamassassin.patch (#528572) * Thu Oct 1 2009 Chris Weyl <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-84 - add /perl(UNIVERSAL)/d; /perl(DB)/d to perl_default_filter auto-provides filtering * Thu Oct 1 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-83 - update Storable to 2.21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #576508 - CVE-2010-1168 perl Safe: Intended restriction bypass via object references https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=576508 [ 2 ] Bug #588269 - CVE-2010-1447 perl: Safe restriction bypass when reference to subroutine in compartment is called from outside https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588269 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
