Description
This update addresses the following issues:

* Some modules in Perl 5.x do not properly remove . (period) characters from
  the end of the includes directory array, which might allow local users to
  gain privileges via a Trojan horse module under the current working
  directory. (CVE-2016-1238)
* The XSLoader::load method in XSLoader in Perl does not properly locate .so
  files when called in a string eval, which might allow local users to
  execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse library under the current working
  directory. (CVE-2016-6185)
