CVE-2025-40909 (2025-05-30)

Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths. If a directory handle is open at thread creation, the process-wide current working directory is temporarily changed in order to clone that handle for the new thread, which is visible from any third (or more) thread already running. This may lead to unintended operations such as loading code or accessing files from unexpected locations, which a local attacker may be able to exploit. The bug was introduced in commit 11a11ecf4bea72b17d250cfb43c897be1341861e and released in Perl version 5.13.6

NAME

Test2::Compare::Float - Compare two values as numbers with tolerance.

DESCRIPTION

This is used to compare two numbers. You can also check that two numbers are not the same.

This is similar to Test2::Compare::Number, with extra checks to work around floating point representation issues.

The optional 'tolerance' parameter controls how close the two numbers must be to be considered equal. Tolerance defaults to 1e-08.

Note: This will fail if the received value is undefined. It must be a number.

Note: This will fail if the comparison generates a non-numeric value warning (which will not be shown). This is because it must get a number. The warning is not shown as it will report to a useless line and filename. However, the test diagnostics show both values.
