Update Information:

Updated perl packages that fix a security flaw are now available.

Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system
administration utilities and Web programming.

An integer overflow bug was found in Perl's format string processor.  It
is possible for an attacker to cause perl to crash or execute arbitrary
code if the attacker is able to process a malicious format string.  This
issue is only exploitable through a script which passes arbitrary
untrusted strings to the format string processor.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-3962 to
this issue.


Note that this vulnerability do not affect perl packages in Red Hat
Linux 7.3

Users of perl are advised to upgrade to these packages which contain a
backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
