Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-10-03 11:57:17 UTC
From secunia security advisory at $URL:

Description:
The vulnerability is caused due to the "Digest->new()" function not properly sanitising input before using it in an "eval()" call, which can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary Perl code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.17.

Solution:
Update to version 1.17.

@perl, can we proceed with stabilization of perl-core/digest-base-1.170.0? Thanks.

CVE-2011-3597 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-3597):
  Eval injection in the Digest module before 1.17 for Perl allows
  context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the new
  constructor.
