-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-08197bc14f 2018-06-14 19:12:51.960096 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl Product : Fedora 28 Version : 5.26.2 Release : 412.fc28 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. This is a metapackage with all the Perl bits and core modules that can be found in the upstream tarball from perl.org. If you need only a specific feature, you can install a specific package instead. E.g. to handle Perl scripts with /usr/bin/perl interpreter, install perl-interpreter package. See perl-interpreter description for more details on the Perl decomposition into packages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This release fixes building XS modules, clobbering file bytes in :encoding layers, line numbering in multi-line search-and-replace operations, parsing extended bracketed character classes, an uninitialized memory read in the Perl parser, and an infinite loop in the regular expression compiler. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri May 25 2018 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.2-412 - perl-devel requires redhat-rpm-config because of hardened compiler profiles (bug #1557667) - Do not clobber file bytes in :encoding layer (RT#132833) - Fix line numbers in multi-line s/// (RT#131930) - Fix parsing extended bracketed character classes (RT#132167) - Fix a possibly unitialized memory read in the Perl parser (RT#133074) - Fix an infinite loop in the regular expression compiler (RT#133185) * Fri May 18 2018 Jitka Plesnikova <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.2-411 - Correct license tags of perl-libs (bug #1579524) * Mon Apr 16 2018 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.2-410 - 5.26.2 bump - Fix CVE-2018-6913 (heap buffer overflow in pp_pack.c) (bug #1567776) - Fix CVE-2018-6798 (heap read overflow in regexec.c) (bug #1567777) - Fix CVE-2018-6797 (heap write overflow in regcomp.c) (bug #1567778) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1557667 - perl - Config_heavy.pl uses redhat-hardened-cc1 without depending on redhat-rpm-config https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1557667 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
