A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:
Perl could be made to run programs if it processed a specially crafted
Locale::Maketext templates.
Software Description:

Details:
It was discovered that Perl’s Locale::Maketext module incorrectly handled
backslashes and fully qualified method names. An attacker could possibly
use this flaw to execute arbitrary code when an application used untrusted
templates.
