CVE-2010-1447

Published: 19 May 2010

The Safe (aka Safe.pm) module 2.26, and certain earlier versions, for Perl, as used in PostgreSQL 7.4 before 7.4.29, 8.0 before 8.0.25, 8.1 before 8.1.21, 8.2 before 8.2.17, 8.3 before 8.3.11, 8.4 before 8.4.4, and 9.0 Beta before 9.0 Beta 2, allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended (1) Safe::reval and (2) Safe::rdo access restrictions, and inject and execute arbitrary code, via vectors involving subroutine references and delayed execution.

Status

Notes

Description is wrong, this is actually a flaw in Safe.pm 2.26 and
earlier as used in Perl 5.10.0 and earlier.
Debian bug for CVE-2010-1168 says 2.27 introduces regressions.
