CVE-2024-56406 (2025-04-13)

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in Perl. Release branches 5.34, 5.36, 5.38 and 5.40 are affected, including development versions from 5.33.1 through 5.41.10. When there are non-ASCII bytes in the left-hand-side of the `tr` operator, `S_do_trans_invmap` can overflow the destination pointer `d`.    $ perl -e '$_ = "\x{FF}" x 1000000; tr/\xFF/\x{100}/;'    Segmentation fault (core dumped) It is believed that this vulnerability can enable Denial of Service and possibly Code Execution attacks on platforms that lack sufficient defenses.

CVE-2026-4176 (2026-03-29)

Perl versions from 5.9.4 before 5.40.4-RC1, from 5.41.0 before 5.42.2-RC1, from 5.43.0 before 5.43.9 contain a vulnerable version of Compress::Raw::Zlib. Compress::Raw::Zlib is included in the Perl package as a dual-life core module, and is vulnerable to CVE-2026-3381 due to a vendored version of zlib which has several vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-27171. The bundled Compress::Raw::Zlib was updated to version 2.221 in Perl blead commit c75ae9cc164205e1b6d6dbd57bd2c65c8593fe94.

CVE-2026-8376 (2026-05-25)

Perl versions through 5.43.10 have a heap buffer overflow when compiling regular expressions with a repeated fixed string on 32-bit builds. Perl_study_chunk in regcomp_study.c checked the size of the joined substring buffer in characters rather than bytes. For a quantified fixed substring with a large minimum count, the byte length mincount * l could overflow SSize_t, producing an undersized SvGROW allocation; the subsequent copy writes past the end of the buffer. A caller that compiles an attacker-controlled regular expression on a 32-bit perl build triggers a heap buffer overflow at compile time.

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::Info - Facet for information a developer might care about.

DESCRIPTION

This facet represents messages intended for humans that will help them either understand a result, or diagnose a failure.

NOTES

This facet appears in a list instead of being a single item.

FIELDS

$string_or_structure = $info->{details}
$string_or_structure = $info->details()

Human readable string or data structure, this is the information to display. Formatters are free to render the structures however they please. This may contain a blessed object.

If the table attribute (see below) is set then a renderer may choose to display the table instead of the details.

$structure = $info->{table}
$structure = $info->table()

If the data the info facet needs to convey can be represented as a table then the data may be placed in this attribute in a more raw form for better display. The data must also be represented in the details attribute for renderers which do not support rendering tables directly.

The table structure:

my %table = {
    header => [ 'column 1 header', 'column 2 header', ... ], # Optional

    rows => [
        ['row 1 column 1', 'row 1, column 2', ... ],
        ['row 2 column 1', 'row 2, column 2', ... ],
        ...
    ],

    # Allow the renderer to hide empty columns when true, Optional
    collapse => $BOOL,

    # List by name or number columns that should never be collapsed
    no_collapse => \@LIST,
}
$short_string = $info->{tag}
$short_string = $info->tag()

Short tag to categorize the info. This is usually 10 characters or less, formatters may truncate longer tags.

$bool = $info->{debug}
$bool = $info->debug()

Set this to true if the message is critical, or explains a failure. This is info that should be displayed by formatters even in less-verbose modes.

When false the information is not considered critical and may not be rendered in less-verbose modes.

$bool = $info->{important}
$bool = $info->important

This should be set for non debug messages that are still important enough to show when a formatter is in quiet mode. A formatter should send these to STDOUT not STDERR, but should show them even in non-verbose mode.
