How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest perl to version 5.30.3-1 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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest 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.
