    CVE-2017-16248

    Summary: Updated perl-Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple package fixes security vulnerability

    Details: The Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple module before 0.34 for Perl allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files if there is a '.' character anywhere in the pathname, which differs from the intended policy of allowing access only when the filename itself has a '.' character (CVE-2017-16248).
