Descriptions
The canonpath function in the File::Spec module in PathTools before 3.62, as used in Perl, does not properly preserve the taint attribute of data, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism via a crafted string.
La función canonpath en el módulo File::Spec en PathTools en versiones anteriores a 3.62, tal como se utiliza en Perl, no mantiene adecuadamente el atributo taint de los datos, lo que podría permitir a atacantes dependientes de contexto eludir los mecanismos de protección taint a través de una cadena manipulada.
Multiple potential remote and local vulnerabilities impacting Perl and PHP have been addressed by HPE NonStop Servers OSS Script Languages. The vulnerabilities include Perl's opportunistic loading of optional modules which might allow local users to gain elevation of privilege via a Trojan horse library under the current working directory. Revision 1 of this advisory.
