 desc = 'The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200504-26
(Convert-UUlib: Buffer overflow)


    A vulnerability has been reported in Convert-UUlib where a
    malformed parameter can be provided by an attacker allowing a read
    operation to overflow a buffer. The vendor credits Mark Martinec and
    Robert Lewis with the discovery.
  
Impact

    Successful exploitation would permit an attacker to run arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running the Perl application.
  
Workaround

    There is no known workaround at this time.
  

Solution: 
    All Convert-UUlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-perl/Convert-UUlib-1.051"
  

Risk factor : Medium
