Perl before 5.30.3 has an integer overflow related to mishandling of a "PL_regkind[OP(n)] == NOTHING" situation. A crafted regular expression could lead to malformed bytecode with a possibility of instruction injection.

Integer underflow in regcomp.c in Perl before 5.20, as used in Apple OS X before 10.10.5 and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long digit string associated with an invalid backreference within a regular expression.

In Perl before 5.38.2, S_parse_uniprop_string in regcomp.c can write to unallocated space because a property name associated with a \p{...} regular expression construct is mishandled. The earliest affected version is 5.30.0.
Perl for Windows relies on the system path environment variable to find the shell (cmd.exe). When running an executable which uses Windows Perl interpreter, Perl attempts to find and execute cmd.exe within the operating system. However, due to path search order issues, Perl initially looks for cmd.exe in the current working directory. An attacker with limited privileges can exploit this behavior by placing cmd.exe in locations with weak permissions, such as C:\ProgramData. By doing so, when an administrator attempts to use this executable from these compromised locations, arbitrary code can be executed.
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
TAP::Parser::Result - Base class for TAP::Parser output objects
VERSION
Version 3.26
SYNOPSIS
# abstract class - not meant to be used directly
# see TAP::Parser::ResultFactory for preferred usage
# directly:
use TAP::Parser::Result;
my $token = {...};
my $result = TAP::Parser::Result->new( $token );
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple base class used by TAP::Parser to store objects that represent the current bit of test output data from TAP (usually a single line). Unless you're subclassing, you probably won't need to use this module directly.
METHODS
new
# see TAP::Parser::ResultFactory for preferred usage
# to use directly:
my $result = TAP::Parser::Result->new($token);
Returns an instance the appropriate class for the test token passed in.
Boolean methods
The following methods all return a boolean value and are to be overridden in the appropriate subclass.
is_planIndicates whether or not this is the test plan line.
1..3is_pragmaIndicates whether or not this is a pragma line.
pragma +strictis_testIndicates whether or not this is a test line.
ok 1 Is OK!is_commentIndicates whether or not this is a comment.
# this is a commentis_bailoutIndicates whether or not this is bailout line.
Bail out! We're out of dilithium crystals.is_versionIndicates whether or not this is a TAP version line.
TAP version 4is_unknownIndicates whether or not the current line could be parsed.
... this line is junk ...is_yamlIndicates whether or not this is a YAML chunk.
raw
print $result->raw;
Returns the original line of text which was parsed.
type
my $type = $result->type;
Returns the "type" of a token, such as comment or test.
as_string
print $result->as_string;
Prints a string representation of the token. This might not be the exact output, however. Tests will have test numbers added if not present, TODO and SKIP directives will be capitalized and, in general, things will be cleaned up. If you need the original text for the token, see the raw method.
is_ok
if ( $result->is_ok ) { ... }
Reports whether or not a given result has passed. Anything which is not a test result returns true. This is merely provided as a convenient shortcut.
passed
Deprecated. Please use is_ok instead.
has_directive
if ( $result->has_directive ) {
...
}
Indicates whether or not the given result has a TODO or SKIP directive.
has_todo
if ( $result->has_todo ) {
...
}
Indicates whether or not the given result has a TODO directive.
has_skip
if ( $result->has_skip ) {
...
}
Indicates whether or not the given result has a SKIP directive.
set_directive
Set the directive associated with this token. Used internally to fake TODO tests.
SUBCLASSING
Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.
Remember: if you want your subclass to be automatically used by the parser, you'll have to register it with "register_type" in TAP::Parser::ResultFactory.
If you're creating a completely new result type, you'll probably need to subclass TAP::Parser::Grammar too, or else it'll never get used.
Example
package MyResult;
use strict;
use vars '@ISA';
@ISA = 'TAP::Parser::Result';
# register with the factory:
TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( 'my_type' => __PACKAGE__ );
sub as_string { 'My results all look the same' }
