How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 perl-doc to version 5.42.0-160000.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl-doc package and not the perl-doc package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

IO::Uncompress::Unzip versions before 2.215 for Perl propagate uncaught exception when parsing zip header with malformed DOS date.

_dosToUnixTime() decodes the local-file-header last-modification date field and calls Time::Local::timelocal() without an eval guard. A header whose date field decodes to an out-of-range month, day, or hour causes timelocal() to die.

The exception propagates out of IO::Uncompress::Unzip->new($file) where callers expect undef plus $UnzipError.
