Hello all, This was fixed in XML-DT-0.66 fixing that issue. It was just released to CPAN. Thank you alberto On 15/08/14, 21:10, cve-assign () mitre org wrote:

However, we don't immediately see a security problem in version 0.65 (only a usability problem), so a second CVE ID isn't assigned at this point. Specifically, the latest version has: https://metacpan.org/source/AMBS/XML-DT-0.65/mkxmltype system("head -$lines $fname | xmllint --recover - > $fname"); which looks unintended (maybe $fname will always end up as a zero-length file?). This apparently also affects libxml-dt-perl (0.65-1) from the https://packages.debian.org/sid/libxml-dt-perl page. - -- CVE assignment team, MITRE CVE Numbering Authority M/S M300 202 Burlington Road, Bedford, MA 01730 USA [ PGP key available through http://cve.mitre.org/cve/request_id.html ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (SunOS) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJT7mhqAAoJEKllVAevmvmsd6wH/1kq/+SPIZPj73hx7gHdF6Bs apbtdF7zITzl+o9sNkiq/PR8a8Hln6ZvqCuyZMinQu9xv1mfanpheSsCw810q5ou dP1Bhv+4zN91ukEMKnugYH3xnLn3GXnm0XXDL+mN90I4ev/CKJbKzLoeqHWxy0Ah k1YDC1dG5eS9EIT6OhOWAZKX1zYB5SJ8SiyIhomp94Jymtnqd6IKs7kTkinaeoJ6 AgSEFugTT6pr46rRKf+dkZ+KhsrhTLYVUGVajwYVOSQRPKLaMdIfdAwcM99fhfrX k81O1GIO2CPRXslzzdqTTgoqaPjx9TqXQZdCA2CCKrDH1RHIpyPQCNrGAbTOeMk= =dNlw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
