+Subject: [PATCH] avoid calling memset with a negative count
+
+Poorly written perl code that allows an attacker to specify the count to
+perl's 'x' string repeat operator can already cause a memory exhaustion
+denial-of-service attack. A flaw in versions of perl before 5.15.5 can
+escalate that into a heap buffer overrun; coupled with versions of glibc
+before 2.16, it possibly allows the execution of arbitrary code.
+
+The flaw addressed to this commit has been assigned identifier
+CVE-2012-5195.
