Hi,
the last upstream release of libdigest-perl (1.17) contains a fix for an
unsafe use of eval[1]: the argument to Digest->new($algo) was not
checked properly allowing code injection (in case the value can be
changed by the attacker). Versions in both lenny and squeeze are
affected.
The security team does not plan to release a DSA, the issue should be
fixed via proposed-updates instead.
I prepared updates for both lenny and squeeze (attached).
Regards,
Ansgar
