Description

HTTP::Body::Multipart in the HTTP-Body module for Perl (1.07 through 1.22, before 1.23) uses the part of the uploaded file's name after the first "." character as the suffix of a temporary file, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct attacks by leveraging subsequent behavior that may assume the suffix is well-formed.

Affected products

Http-Body Project Http-Body: through 1.17; 0.01, 0.2, 0.03, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 (+19)
