Medium
Reference: CVE-2005-3962
Title: Perl Numeric Errors Vulnerability
Overview:

Integer overflow in the format string functionality (Perl_sv_vcatpvfn) in Perl 5.9.2 and 5.8.6 Perl allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers with large values which causes an integer wrap and leads to a buffer overflow as demonstrated using format string vulnerabilities in Perl applications.
