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.

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.

NAME

Test2::Formatter::TAP - Standard TAP formatter

DESCRIPTION

This is what takes events and turns them into TAP.

SYNOPSIS

use Test2::Formatter::TAP;
my $tap = Test2::Formatter::TAP->new();

# Switch to utf8
$tap->encoding('utf8');

$tap->write($event, $number); # Output an event

METHODS

$bool = $tap->no_numbers
$tap->set_no_numbers($bool)

Use to turn numbers on and off.

$arrayref = $tap->handles
$tap->set_handles(\@handles);

Can be used to get/set the filehandles. Indexes are identified by the OUT_STD and OUT_ERR constants.

$encoding = $tap->encoding
$tap->encoding($encoding)

Get or set the encoding. By default no encoding is set, the original settings of STDOUT and STDERR are used.

This directly modifies the stored filehandles, it does not create new ones.

$tap->write($e, $num)

Write an event to the console.
