As announced in
<http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2014/09/msg220118.html>
there is a probably-hard-to-exploit bug in the Data::Dumper module in
perl. Updates are being prepared at

<https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/perl/perl.git/log/?h=wheezy-data-dumper-fix>

The security team have called this one a no-dsa issue. Please let us know
if it's okay to upload the fix to stable.

Thanks,
Dominic.
