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::Tools::GenTemp - Tool for generating a populated temp directory.

DESCRIPTION

This exports a tool that helps you make a temporary directory, nested directories and text files within.

SYNOPSIS

use Test2::Tools::GenTemp qw/gen_temp/;

my $dir = gen_temp(
    a_file => "Contents of a_file",
    a_dir  => {
        'a_file' => 'Contents of a_dir/afile',
        a_nested_dir => { ... },
    },
    ...
);

done_testing;

EXPORTS

All subs are exported by default.

gen_temp(file => 'content', subdir => [ sub_dir_file => 'content', ...], ...)
gen_temp(-tempdir => \@TEMPDIR_ARGS, file => 'content', subdir => [ sub_dir_file => 'content', ...], ...)

This will generate a new temporary directory with all the files and subdirs you specify, recursively. The initial temp directory is created using File::Temp::tempdir(), you may pass arguments to tempdir using the -tempdir => [...] argument.
