+ <p>Safe is a Perl module to compile and execute code in restricted

+ <description>
+ <p>Unsafe code evaluation prevents the Safe module from properly
+ restricting the code of implicitly called methods on implicitly blessed
+ objects.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted Perl
+ script, resulting in execution arbitrary Perl code outside of a
+ restricted compartment.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All users of the standalone Perl Safe module should upgrade to the
+ latest version:
+ </p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=perl-core/Safe-2.27"

+ <p>All users of the Safe module bundled with Perl should upgrade to the

+ </p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=virtual/perl-Safe-2.27"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
+ available since July 18, 2010. It is likely that your system is already
+ no longer affected by this issue.
