>Description:

Patch for CVE-2005-3962 (fixes for sprintf formatting issues)
has already been fixed in ports tree, but not documented in VuXML.

Note that perl 5.6.2 is not marked as vulnerable by Bugtraq,
I am not certain whether it is true or not.

+	     passed to sprintf can cause a buffer overflow. This buffer overflow
+	     can then be used by an attacker to execute code on the machine.
+	     This was discovered in the context of a design problem with the Webmin
