CVE-2011-2728
Published: 21 December 2012
The bsd_glob function in the File::Glob module for Perl before 5.14.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a glob expression with the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC flag, which triggers an uninitialized pointer dereference.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| seth-arnold | glob flags would need to be under control of attacker in another program for this to be a security issue. |
| mdeslaur | we don't consider this to be a security issue. Ignoring. |
