_______________________________________________________________________

Package : perl-Convert-UUlib
Date : January 26, 2006
Affected: 10.2, Corporate 3.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A buffer overflow was discovered in the perl Convert::UUlib module in
versions prior to 1.051, which could allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a malformed parameter to a read operation.

This update provides version 1.051 which is not vulnerable to this
flaw.
