Package: perl-modules-5.30 Version: 5.30.0-8 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole
I've just found that CPAN.pm does not check signatures by default: 'check_sigs' => q[0], Moreover, it downloads files using http, not https. The combination of both issues makes it very insecure, with a possible remote attack! And there are no warnings about that. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages perl-modules-5.30 depends on: ii dpkg 1.19.7 ii perl-base 5.30.0-8 Versions of packages perl-modules-5.30 recommends: ii perl 5.30.0-8 perl-modules-5.30 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
