NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl-tests package and not the perl-tests package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Perl before 5.30.3 on 32-bit platforms allows a heap-based buffer overflow because nested regular expression quantifiers have an integer overflow.
