CVE-2012-6141 (2014-06-04)

The App::Context module 0.01 through 0.968 for Perl does not properly use the Storable::thaw function, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request to (1) App::Session::Cookie or (2) App::Session::HTMLHidden, which is not properly handled when it is deserialized.

# ... official way to get a Context object ...
use App;
$context = App->context();
$config = $context->config();   # get the configuration
$config->dispatch_events();     # dispatch events

# ... alternative way (used internally) ...
use App::Context::Server;
$context = App::Context::Server->new();
