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::Plan - Facet for setting the plan

DESCRIPTION

Events use this facet when they need to set the plan.

FIELDS

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

Human readable explanation for the plan being set. This is normally not rendered by most formatters except when the skip field is also set.

$positive_int = $plan->{count}
$positive_int = $plan->count()

Set the number of expected assertions. This should usually be set to 0 when skip or none are also set.

$bool = $plan->{skip}
$bool = $plan->skip()

When true the entire test should be skipped. This is usually paired with an explanation in the details field, and a control facet that has terminate set to 0.

$bool = $plan->{none}
$bool = $plan->none()

This is mainly used by legacy Test::Builder tests which set the plan to no plan, a construct that predates the much better done_testing().

If you are using this in non-legacy code you may need to reconsider the course of your life, maybe a hermitage would suite you?
