AIX Open Source

Hello,

Hope someone can help.

When running the IBM FLRTVC tool on our AIX LPAR it reports that fileset "perl.rte" has a security vulnerability which is described here : https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/perl_advisory7.asc

We have downloaded the iFixes contained within perl_fix7.tar.

Within this tar file is contained "Advisory.asc" which states :

AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS:
        AIX 7.2, 7.3
        VIOS 3.1
        The following fileset levels are vulnerable:
        key_fileset = aix
        Fileset                 Lower Level  Upper Level KEY
        ---------------------------------------------------------
        perl.rte                5.28.0.0     5.28.1.7    key_w_fs

However, when we try and install 31484m6a.231020.epkg.Z it gives this error:

emgr: 0645-050 Prerequisite number 1 did not pass all checks. Please see
details above.

Does anyone know how we can fix the security vulnerability in perl.rte?

Thanks in advance
