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::Meta - Check library for meta-checks

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes in a deep comparison you want to run extra checks against an item down the chain. This library allows you to write a check that verifies several attributes of an item.

DEFINED CHECKS

blessed

Lets you check that an item is blessed, and that it is blessed into the expected class.

reftype

Lets you check the reftype of the item.

isa

Lets you check if the item is an instance of the expected class.

this

Lets you check the item itself.

size

Lets you check the size of the item. For an arrayref this is the number of elements. For a hashref this is the number of keys. For everything else this is undef.
