--- Doc Text *updated* by Cedric Buissart <cbuissar(a)redhat.com> ---
A heap write buffer overflow was found in perl's S_regatom() function, which is used in the compilation of regular expressions, resulting in the crash of the perl interpreter. An attacker able to provide a specially crafted regular expression could cause a denial of service.
