Name : perl Product : Fedora 14 Version : 5.12.3 Release : 143.fc14 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Security bug: lc launder tainted data http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=87336 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Apr 1 2011 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.12.3-143 - 692900 - lc launders tainted flag, RT #87336 * Thu Mar 10 2011 Tom Callaway <[email protected]> - 4:5.12.3-142 - update ExtUtils::ParseXS to 2.2206 (current) to fix Wx build * Mon Jan 24 2011 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.12.3-141 - stable update 5.12.3 - add COMPAT * Wed Dec 1 2010 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.12.2-140 - create sub-package for CGI 3.49 - create sub-package for threads-shared * Tue Nov 9 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.12.2-139 - Sub-package perl-Class-ISA (bug #651317) * Mon Nov 8 2010 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.12.2-138 - 643447 fix redefinition of constant C in h2ph (visible in git send mail, XML::Twig test suite) * Mon Nov 8 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.12.2-137 - Make perl(ExtUtils::ParseXS) version 4 digits long (bug #650882) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #692900 - perl: lc(), uc() routines are laundering tainted data [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692900 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
