ActiveState Perl Integer Overflow Vulnerability
ActiveState Perl is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability. It occurs due to a lack of sufficient bounds checking on multiplier data passed to a Perl duplicator statement. This vulnerability allows an attacker to influence the execution flow of a vulnerable Perl script and execute arbitrary code. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
Mitigation:
Apply the latest patches or updates from the vendor.
