CVE-2014-4330 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
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.
