NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-3625-1.NASL description It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Perl to hang, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8853) It was discovered that Perl incorrectly loaded libraries from the current working directory. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-6185) It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled the rmtree and remove_tree functions. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to set the mode on arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-6512) Brian Carpenter discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. An attacker could use this issue to cause Perl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue has only been addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2018-6797) Nguyen Duc Manh discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. An attacker could use this issue to cause Perl to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2018-6798) GwanYeong Kim discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain data when using the pack function.
