|
|
A vulnerability has been reported in Convert-UUlib where a malformed
|
|
parameter can be provided by an attacker allowing a read operation to
|
|
overflow a buffer. The vendor credits Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis
|
|
with the discovery.

Successful exploitation would permit an attacker to run arbitrary code
|
|
with the privileges of the user running the Perl application.
