Published: 13 January 2012

Eval injection vulnerability in the Digest module before 1.17 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the new constructor.

Notes

fixed in digest 1.17

from RedHat bug: "To successfully exploit this vulnerability, the
attacker must already be able to execute Perl code or be able to set the
algorithm name to be used by the constructor in the form "$ctx =
Digest-
new(XXX => $arg,...)", which is very unlikely to happen."

Priority

Low
