Title: Perl Numeric Errors Vulnerability
Overview:

Off-by-one error in the decode_xs function in Unicode/Unicode.xs in the Encode module before 2.44 as used in Perl before 5.15.6 might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Unicode string which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
