Last modified

CVE-2014-4330 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function.. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
