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::Hub::Subtest - Hub used by subtests

DESCRIPTION

Subtests make use of this hub to route events.

TOGGLES

$bool = $hub->manual_skip_all
$hub->set_manual_skip_all($bool)

The default is false.

Normally a skip-all plan event will cause a subtest to stop executing. This is accomplished via last LABEL to a label inside the subtest code. Most of the time this is perfectly fine. There are times however where this flow control causes bad things to happen.

This toggle lets you turn off the abort logic for the hub. When this is toggled to true you are responsible for ensuring no additional events are generated.
