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::Formatter::TAP - Standard TAP formatter

DESCRIPTION

This is what takes events and turns them into TAP.

SYNOPSIS

use Test2::Formatter::TAP;
my $tap = Test2::Formatter::TAP->new();

# Switch to utf8
$tap->encoding('utf8');

$tap->write($event, $number); # Output an event

METHODS

$bool = $tap->no_numbers
$tap->set_no_numbers($bool)

Use to turn numbers on and off.

$arrayref = $tap->handles
$tap->set_handles(\@handles);

Can be used to get/set the filehandles. Indexes are identified by the OUT_STD and OUT_ERR constants.

$encoding = $tap->encoding
$tap->encoding($encoding)

Get or set the encoding. By default no encoding is set, the original settings of STDOUT and STDERR are used.

This directly modifies the stored filehandles, it does not create new ones.

$tap->write($e, $num)

Write an event to the console.
