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::Require::Module - Skip tests if certain packages are not installed, or insufficient versions.

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes you have tests that are nice to run, but depend on tools that may not be available. Instead of adding the tool as a dep, or making the test always skip, it is common to make the test run conditionally. This package helps make that possible.

This module is modeled after Test::Requires. The difference is that this module is based on Test2 directly, and does not go through Test::Builder. Another difference is that the packages you check for are not imported into your namespace for you. This is intentional.

SYNOPSIS

# The test will be skipped unless Some::Module is installed, any version.
use Test2::Require::Module 'Some::Module';

# The test will be skipped unless 'Other::Module' is installed and at
# version '5.555' or greater.
use Test2::Require::Module 'Other::Module' => '5.555';

# We now need to use them directly, Test2::Require::Module does not import
# them for us.
use Some::Module;
use Other::Module;
