See Debian Bug #702821 for details. This update fixes that problem. For reference, the original advisory text for perl follows. Yves Orton discovered a flaw in the rehashing code of Perl. This flaw could be exploited to carry out a denial of service attack against code that uses arbitrary user input as hash keys. Specifically an attacker could create a set of keys of a hash causing a denial of service via memory exhaustion. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.4-7+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.7-3. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.7-3.
