CVE-2010-1168 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1168): The Safe (aka Safe.pm) module before 2.25 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended (1) Safe::reval and (2) Safe::rdo access restrictions, and inject and execute arbitrary code, via vectors involving implicitly called methods and implicitly blessed objects, as demonstrated by the (a) DESTROY and (b) AUTOLOAD methods, related to "automagic methods."
We've got 2.27 in tree, can it go stable?
I don't see why not, in tree since 2010/05/02, no open bugs except this one, installs and passes tests here. Please stabilize perl-core/Safe-2.27 and virtual/perl-Safe-2.27
amd64 stable
Builds fine on x86. Tests don't give any problems. Couldn't find any rdeps, so none tested. Please mark stable for x86.
alpha/ia64/sparc/x86 stable, thanks Myckel
Stable for HPPA.
Like all perl-core/ packages, Safe.pm is also part of dev-lang/perl. So dev-lang/perl should be fixed too before this bug can be resolved. perl Safe.pm v5.8.8 2.12 v5.10.1 2.18
Marked ppc stable. Marked ~ppc64 since there are no ppc64 keywords.
