Perl integer overflow issue
There exists an integer overflow problem in Perl which can lead to a
string format issue. If a large enough integer is supplied to a
printf statement which uses the %n conversion, it may be possible to
execute arbitrary code. This problem will not be easy to remotely
exploit as a very poorly written script will first be needed.
