CVE-2005-0156 [LOW] CVE-2005-0156: Buffer overflow in the PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sper 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-2004-2286 [HIGH] CVE-2004-2286: Integer overflow in the duplication operator in ActivePerl allows remote attackers to cause a denial 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-2004-0452 [LOW] CVE-2004-0452: Race condition in the rmtree function in the File::Path module in Perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.4 sets read/wri 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.
