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::EventFacet::Control - Facet for hub actions and behaviors.

DESCRIPTION

This facet is used when the event needs to give instructions to the Test2 internals.

FIELDS

$string = $control->{details}
$string = $control->details()

Human readable explanation for the special behavior.

$bool = $control->{global}
$bool = $control->global()

True if the event is global in nature and should be seen by all hubs.

$exit = $control->{terminate}
$exit = $control->terminate()

Defined if the test should immediately exit, the value is the exit code and may be 0.

$bool = $control->{halt}
$bool = $control->halt()

True if all testing should be halted immediately.

$bool = $control->{has_callback}
$bool = $control->has_callback()

True if the callback($hub) method on the event should be called.

$encoding = $control->{encoding}
$encoding = $control->encoding()

This can be used to change the encoding from this event onward.

$phase = $control->{phase}
$phase = $control->phase()

Used to signal that a phase change has occurred. Currently only the perl END phase is signaled.
