Recommended action

Review the upstream advisory, identify the affected product in your inventory, and apply the vendor update when one is available.

What this means

CVE-2011-10043 is listed in the HOL Guard supply-chain feed, but affected software is not mapped to a package. Review the upstream advisory for the affected product and vendor guidance. Module::Load versions before 0.22 for Perl allow arbitrary modules outside of @INC to be loaded. Module names starting with "::" could be passed to the load function to specify arbitrary module paths. Attackers able to influence module names passed to load could use that bug to execute arbitrary code.

Affected software

Affected software not mapped. Review the upstream record for vendor-specific product and version guidance.
