Description | This update addresses the following issues: * ambiguous environment variables handling (CVE-2016-2381) * Some modules in Perl 5.x do not properly remove . (period) characters from the end of the includes directory array, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse module under the current working directory. (CVE-2016-1238) * The XSLoader::load method in XSLoader in Perl does not properly locate .so files when called in a string eval, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse library under the current working directory.
