-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-19282 2012-11-28 10:42:49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl Product : Fedora 17 Version : 5.14.3 Release : 218.fc17 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: Fix CVE-2012-5526 (escape new-lines in Set-Cookie and P3P HTTP response headers properly) in CGI-3.52. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Nov 26 2012 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.14.3-218 - Remove perl-CGI sub-package to favour standalone one (bug #876974) * Wed Oct 17 2012 Jitka Plesnikova <[email protected]> - 4:5.14.3-217 - Do not crash when vivifying $| (bug #865296) * Mon Oct 15 2012 Jitka Plesnikova <[email protected]> - 4:5.14.3-216 - 5.14.3 bump (see https://metacpan.org/module/DOM/perl-5.14.3/pod/perldelta.pod for release notes). * Fri Sep 14 2012 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.14.2-215 - Override the Pod::Simple::parse_file to set output to STDOUT by default (bug #826872) * Tue Sep 11 2012 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.14.2-214 - Clear $@ before `do' I/O error (bug #834226) - Do not truncate syscall() return value to 32 bits (bug #838551) - Match starting byte in non-UTF-8 mode (bug #801739) - Free hash entries before values on delete (bug #771303) * Wed Sep 5 2012 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.14.2-213 - Remove perl-devel dependency from perl-Test-Harness and perl-Test-Simple - Move App::Cpan from perl-Test-Harness to perl-CPAN (bug #854577) * Tue May 29 2012 Jitka Plesnikova <[email protected]> - 4:5.14.2-212 - Fix find2perl to translate ? glob properly (bug #825701) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #877015 - CVE-2012-5526 perl-CGI: Newline injection due to improper CRLF escaping in Set-Cookie and P3P headers https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877015 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
