Danger Level Rises for Perl Vulnerabilities
Joris Evers writes in C|Net News:
A type of security flaw in Perl applications that experts thought could lead only to a denial-of-service attack is now believed to be much more serious.
Dyad Security on Tuesday warned of a so-called "format string vulnerability" in Webmin, a Web-based administration utility written in Perl. An attacker could gain complete control over a server running the vulnerable software by exploiting this "new class" of flaw, the security research company said in an advisory.
