NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl-version package and not the perl-version package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) lc, (2) lcfirst, (3) uc, and (4) ucfirst functions in Perl 5.10.x, 5.11.x, and 5.12.x through 5.12.3, and 5.13.x through 5.13.11, do not apply the taint attribute to the return value upon processing tainted input, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism via a crafted string.
