CVE-2003-0900debianperl+1
EPSS score1.40%
Perl 5.8.1 on Fedora Core does not properly initialize the random number generator when forking, which makes it easier for attackers to predict random numbers.CVE-2007-5116debianperl+10EPSS score4.83%
Buffer overflow in the polymorphic opcode support in the Regular Expression Engine (regcomp.c) in Perl 5.8 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by switching from byte to Unicode (UTF) characters in a regular expression.CVE-2005-0156debianperl+9EPSS score1.31%
Buffer overflow in the PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sperl), allows local users to execute arbitrary code by setting the PERLIO_DEBUG variable and executing a Perl script whose full pathname contains a long directory tree.CVE-2005-0155debianperl+1EPSS score1.20%
The PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sperl), allows local users to create arbitrary files via the PERLIO_DEBUG variable.CVE-2005-0448debianperl+4EPSS score0.38%
Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path.pm in Perl before 5.8.4 allows local users to create arbitrary setuid binaries in the tree being deleted, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0452.CVE-2005-4278larry_wallperlEPSS score0.40%
Untrusted search path vulnerability in Perl before 5.8.7-r1 on Gentoo Linux allows local users in the portage group to gain privileges via a malicious shared object in the Portage temporary build directory, which is part of the RUNPATH.CVE-2000-0703larry_wallperlEPSS score1.07%
suidperl (aka sperl) does not properly cleanse the escape sequence "~!" before calling /bin/mail to send an error report, which allows local users to gain privileges by setting the "interactive" environmental variable and calling suidperl with a filename that contains the escape sequence.CVE-1999-0034bsdibsd_os+3EPSS score1.18%
Buffer overflow in suidperl (sperl), Perl 4.x and 5.x.CVE-2004-2286activestateactiveperl+1EPSS score8.00%
Integer overflow in the duplication operator in ActivePerl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large multiplier, which may trigger a buffer overflow.CVE-2004-0976debianperl+1EPSS score0.43%
Multiple scripts in the perl package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.CVE-2004-0452debianperl+1EPSS score0.40%
Race condition in the rmtree function in the File::Path module in Perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.4 sets read/write permissions for the world, which allows local users to delete arbitrary files and directories, and possibly read files and directories, via a symlink attack.CVE-2004-0377larry_wallperl+1EPSS score6.77%
Buffer overflow in the win32_stat function for (1) ActiveState's ActivePerl and (2) Larry Wall's Perl before 5.8.3 allows local or remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that end in a backslash character.
