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::Plugin::Times - Output timing data at the end of the test.

CAVEAT

It is important to note that this timing data does not include global destruction. This data is only collected up until the point done_testing() is called. If your program takes time for END blocks, garbage collection, and similar, then this timing data will fall short of reality.

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will output a diagnostics message at the end of testing that tells you how much time elapsed, and how hard the system worked on the test.

This will produce a string like one of these (Note these numbers are completely made up). Which string is used depends on the time elapsed.

0.12345s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

11.1234s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

01m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

18h:22m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

04d:18h:22m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

SYNOPSIS

use Test2::Plugin::Times;

This is also useful at the command line for 1-time use:

$ perl -MTest2::Plugin::Times path/to/test.t
