hello there.
I read here that older Perl distros are affected by an hash function vulnerability.
I have to admit that i understood only one third of the explanation.. but fortunately there is a simple oneliner to test your version, and one of mines prints "not ok".
>perl -le"@h{qw(a h k r ad ao as ax ay bs ck cm cz ej fz hm ia ih is i
+z jk kx lg lv lw nj oj pr ql rk sk td tz vy yc yw zj zu aad acp acq a
+dm ajy alu apb apx asa asm atf axi ayl bbq bcs bdp bhs bml)}=(); prin
+t %h=~/128/ && qq(not ),qq(ok # perl $])"
not ok # perl 5.008008
>perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
Where can I find a patch for my distro? How can apply it? I need to recompile from source? or better replace with a 5.18 when it is possible. L*
There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
