by Kastro CVE-2020-36846
TIMLEGGE IO::Compress::Brotli — IO::Compress::Brotli versions prior to 0.007 for Perl have an integer overflow in the bundled Brotli C library
Description · from the CVE record
A buffer overflow, as described in CVE-2020-8927, exists in the embedded Brotli library. Versions of IO::Compress::Brotli prior to 0.007 included a version of the brotli library prior to version 1.0.8, where an attacker controlling the input length of a "one-shot" decompression request to a script can trigger a crash, which happens when copying over chunks of data larger than 2 GiB. It is recommended to update your IO::Compress::Brotli module to 0.007 or later. If one cannot update, we recommend to use the "streaming" API as opposed to the "one-shot" API, and impose chunk size limits.
