Description Johannes Segitz 2016-01-12 13:38:28 UTC 
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2015/CVE-2015-8607.html

David Golden of MongoDB discovered that File::Spec::canonpath() in Perl
returned untainted strings even if passed tainted input. This defect
undermines taint propagation, which is sometimes used to ensure that
unvalidated user input does not reach sensitive code.

Bug: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=126862

Fix is in commit b6307f728a4f842a54ea96959e386c7daa92ece1

openSUSE 13.2 and Factory only.
