CVE-2016-1238 (2016-07-27)

Loading optional modules from . (current directory).

CVE-2021-36770 (2021-07-17)

Encode.pm, as distributed in Perl through 5.34.0, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Encode::ConfigLocal library (in the current working directory) that preempts dynamic module loading. Exploitation requires an unusual configuration, and certain 2021 versions of Encode.pm (3.05 through 3.11). This issue occurs because the || operator evaluates @INC in a scalar context, and thus @INC has only an integer value.

CVE-2011-2939 (2012-01-13)

Off-by-one error in the decode_xs function in Unicode/Unicode.xs in the Encode module before 2.44, as used in Perl before 5.15.6, might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Unicode string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

NAME

Encode::KR - Korean Encodings

SYNOPSIS

use Encode qw/encode decode/; 
$euc_kr = encode("euc-kr", $utf8);   # loads Encode::KR implicitly
$utf8   = decode("euc-kr", $euc_kr); # ditto

DESCRIPTION

This module implements Korean charset encodings. Encodings supported are as follows.

  Canonical   Alias		Description
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  euc-kr      /euc.*kr$/i	EUC (Extended Unix Character)
	      /kr.*euc/i
  ksc5601			Korean standard code set
  cp949				Code Page 949 
				(EUC-KR + Unified Hangul Code)
  --------------------------------------------------------------------

To find how to use this module in detail, see Encode.

BUGS

The Johab (two-byte combination code) encoding is not supported.

ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See

http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en

to find why it is implemented that way.
