CVE-2017-0373 (2017-05-10)

The gen_class_pod implementation in lib/Config/Model/Utils/GenClassPod.pm in Config-Model (aka libconfig-model-perl) before 2.102 has a dangerous "use lib" line, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted Debian package file.

CPANSA-Config-Model-2017-01 (2017-05-10)

YAML or YAML::XS can be loaded automatically making it possible to run arbitrary code loading a specially crafted YAML file.

CVE-2017-0374 (2017-05-10)

Loads models from a local directory, making it possible to substitute the model.

NAME

Config::Model::FuseUI - Fuse virtual file interface for Config::Model

VERSION

version 2.034

SYNOPSIS

# command line
mkdir fuse_dir
config-edit -application popcon -ui fuse -fuse_dir fusedir 
ll fuse_dir
fusermount -u fuse_dir

# programmatic
use Config::Model ;
use Config::Model::FuseUI ;
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy) ; 

Log::Log4perl->easy_init($WARN); 
my $model = Config::Model -> new; 
my $root = $model -> instance (root_class_name => "PopCon") -> config_root ; 
my $ui = Config::Model::FuseUI->new( root => $root, mountpoint => "fuse_dir" ); 
$ui -> run_loop ;  # blocking call

# explore fuse_dir in another terminal then umount fuse_dir directory

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a virtual file system interface for you configuration data. Each possible parameter of your configuration file is mapped to a file.

Example

$ perl -Ilib config-edit -ui fuse -fuse_dir fused -appli popcon 
Mounting config on fused in background.
Use command 'fusermount -u fused' to unmount
$ ll fused

BUGS

For some configuration, mapping each parameter to a file may lead to a high number of files.

constructor

new (...)

parameters are:

model

Config::Model object

root

Root of the configuration tree (Config::Model::Node object )

mountpoint

Methods

run_loop( fork_in_loop => 1|0, debug => 1|0)

Mount the file system either in the current process or fork a new process before mounting the file system. In the former case, the call is blocking. In the latter, the call will return after forking a process that will perform the mount. Debug parameter is passed to Fuse system to get Fuse traces.

fuse_mount

Mount the fuse file system. This method will block until the file system is unmounted (with fusermount -u mount_point command)
