By using a\\n          specially crafted MAKETEXT, a malicious user can execute shell commands since user\\n          input is passed to the Perl \\\"eval\\\" command without first being sanitized. The\\n          problem is caused by an underlying security issue in the CPAN:Locale::Maketext\\n          module.
