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::EventFacet::Assert - Facet representing an assertion.

DESCRIPTION

The assertion facet is provided by any event representing an assertion that was made.

FIELDS

$string = $assert->{details}
$string = $assert->details()

Human readable description of the assertion.

$bool = $assert->{pass}
$bool = $assert->pass()

True if the assertion passed.

$bool = $assert->{no_debug}
$bool = $assert->no_debug()

Set this to true if you have provided custom diagnostics and do not want the defaults to be displayed.

$int = $assert->{number}
$int = $assert->number()

(Optional) assertion number. This may be omitted or ignored. This is usually only useful when parsing/processing TAP.

Note: This is not set by the Test2 system, assertion number is not known until AFTER the assertion has been processed. This attribute is part of the spec only for harnesses.
