Upgrade Debian:11
perl
to version 5.20.1-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl
package and not the perl
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:11
relevant fixed versions and status.
The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function.
