This can lead to crashes in other\nsoftware, such as Bugzilla.\n\nThe Text::Wrap module bundled with Perl has been patched and the\nData::Dumper module bundled with Perl has been updated to fix these issues.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:24:05.004824651Z","published":"2014-10-09T14:06:16Z","upstream":["CVE-2014-4330"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0406.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14170"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.lsexperts.de/advisories/lse-2014-06-10.txt"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-September/139441.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14098"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"perl","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/perl?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.18.1-3.2.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0406.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
