Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2011-10-08 15:12:47 UTC
CVE-2011-0761 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-0761):
  Perl 5.10.x allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
  (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by leveraging an ability to
  inject arguments into a (1) getpeername, (2) readdir, (3) closedir, (4)
  getsockname, (5) rewinddir, (6) tell, or (7) telldir function call.


Please punt vulnerable versions.
