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. An attacker could use this issue to cause Perl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-6913). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

A crafted regular expression can cause a heap-based buffer overflow, with control over the bytes written.(CVE-2018-6797) - An issue was discovered in Perl 5.22 through 5.26. Matching a crafted locale dependent regular expression can cause a heap-based buffer over-read and potentially information disclosure.(CVE-2018-6798) - Heap-based buffer overflow in the pack function in Perl before 5.26.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large item count.(CVE-2018-6913) - Perl before 5.26.3 and 5.28.0 before 5.28.1 has a buffer overflow via a crafted regular expression that triggers invalid write operations.(CVE-2018-18312) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory.
