perl-vulnerabilitiesCanonical has detailed three Perl vulnerabilities that have been identified and fixed in Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS operating systems.

Perl doesn’t get all that many fixes for vulnerabilities, but it happens from time to time. The Ubuntu maintainers have been quick to update the package, and it is now ready in the repos. Fixing the vulnerabilities and updating the system is a really good idea.
