CVE-1999-0034 4 Bsdi, Larry Wall, Redhat and 1 more 4 Bsd Os, Perl, Linux and 1 more 2022-08-17 7.2 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in suidperl (sperl), Perl 4.x and 5.x.
CVE-2007-5116 6 Debian, Larry Wall, Mandrakesoft and 3 more 10 Debian Linux, Perl, Mandrake Linux and 7 more 2018-10-15 7.5 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in the polymorphic opcode support in the Regular Expression Engine (regcomp.c) in Perl 5.8 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by switching from byte to Unicode (UTF) characters in a regular expression.
CVE-2005-0448 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2018-10-03 1.2 LOW N/A
Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path.pm in Perl before 5.8.4 allows local users to create arbitrary setuid binaries in the tree being deleted, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0452.
CVE-2005-0156 7 Ibm, Larry Wall, Redhat and 4 more 9 Aix, Perl, Enterprise Linux and 6 more 2018-08-13 2.1 LOW N/A
Buffer overflow in the PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sperl), allows local users to execute arbitrary code by setting the PERLIO_DEBUG variable and executing a Perl script whose full pathname contains a long directory tree.
CVE-2005-0155 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2018-08-13 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
The PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sperl), allows local users to create arbitrary files via the PERLIO_DEBUG variable.
CVE-2004-0452 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2017-10-10 2.6 LOW N/A
Race condition in the rmtree function in the File::Path module in Perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.4 sets read/write permissions for the world, which allows local users to delete arbitrary files and directories, and possibly read files and directories, via a symlink attack.
CVE-2004-0976 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2017-10-10 2.1 LOW N/A
Multiple scripts in the perl package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
CVE-2004-2286 2 Activestate, Larry Wall 2 Activeperl, Perl 2017-07-10 7.5 HIGH N/A
Integer overflow in the duplication operator in ActivePerl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large multiplier, which may trigger a buffer overflow.
CVE-2004-0377 2 Activestate, Larry Wall 2 Activeperl, Perl 2017-07-10 10.0 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in the win32_stat function for (1) ActiveState's ActivePerl and (2) Larry Wall's Perl before 5.8.3 allows local or remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that end in a backslash character.
CVE-1999-1386 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2016-10-17 2.1 LOW N/A
Perl 5.004_04 and earlier follows symbolic links when running with the -e option, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/perl-eaXXXXX file.
CVE-2005-4278 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2013-10-23 7.2 HIGH N/A
Untrusted search path vulnerability in Perl before 5.8.7-r1 on Gentoo Linux allows local users in the portage group to gain privileges via a malicious shared object in the Portage temporary build directory, which is part of the RUNPATH.
CVE-2000-0703 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2008-09-10 7.2 HIGH N/A
suidperl (aka sperl) does not properly cleanse the escape sequence "~!" before calling /bin/mail to send an error report, which allows local users to gain privileges by setting the "interactive" environmental variable and calling suidperl with a filename that contains the escape sequence.
CVE-2003-0900 1 Larry Wall 1 Perl 2008-09-05 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Perl 5.8.1 on Fedora Core does not properly initialize the random number generator when forking, which makes it easier for attackers to predict random numbers.
