Description:
According to a security advisory from Dyad Security [0], an integer
overflow bug exists in the Perl [1] programming language. The integer
overflow is in the format string functionality (Perl_sv_vcatpvfn) of
Perl and allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory and possibly
execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers with large values.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
CVE-2005-3962 [2] to the problem.
