  <description>
    <p>Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the Locale-Maketext module for
      Perl, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise an
      application using the module.
    </p>
    
    <p>The vulnerabilities are caused due to the “_compile()” function not
      properly sanitising input, which can be exploited to inject and execute
      arbitrary Perl code.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All users of the Locale-Maketext module should upgrade to the latest
      version:
    </p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
      "&gt;=perl-core/Locale-Maketext-1.230.0"
    </code>
