CVE-2026-4176 (2026-03-29)

Perl versions from 5.9.4 before 5.40.4-RC1, from 5.41.0 before 5.42.2-RC1, from 5.43.0 before 5.43.9 contain a vulnerable version of Compress::Raw::Zlib. Compress::Raw::Zlib is included in the Perl package as a dual-life core module, and is vulnerable to CVE-2026-3381 due to a vendored version of zlib which has several vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-27171. The bundled Compress::Raw::Zlib was updated to version 2.221 in Perl blead commit c75ae9cc164205e1b6d6dbd57bd2c65c8593fe94.

CVE-2026-8376 (2026-05-25)

Perl versions through 5.43.10 have a heap buffer overflow when compiling regular expressions with a repeated fixed string on 32-bit builds. Perl_study_chunk in regcomp_study.c checked the size of the joined substring buffer in characters rather than bytes. For a quantified fixed substring with a large minimum count, the byte length mincount * l could overflow SSize_t, producing an undersized SvGROW allocation; the subsequent copy writes past the end of the buffer. A caller that compiles an attacker-controlled regular expression on a 32-bit perl build triggers a heap buffer overflow at compile time.

NAME

Test2::Event::Ok - Ok event type

DESCRIPTION

Ok events are generated whenever you run a test that produces a result. Examples are ok(), and is().

SYNOPSIS

use Test2::API qw/context/;
use Test2::Event::Ok;

my $ctx = context();
my $event = $ctx->ok($bool, $name, \@diag);

or:

my $ctx   = context();
my $event = $ctx->send_event(
    'Ok',
    pass => $bool,
    name => $name,
);

ACCESSORS

$rb = $e->pass

The original true/false value of whatever was passed into the event (but reduced down to 1 or 0).

$name = $e->name

Name of the test.

$b = $e->effective_pass

This is the true/false value of the test after TODO and similar modifiers are taken into account.
