Security Advisories (1)
CVE-2026-15534 (2026-08-09)

Perl versions through 5.45.1 have out-of-bounds heap reads and writes during regular expression matching via an undersized superlinear cache in S_regmatch. The regex engine's superlinear cache holds one bit per subject position for each participating WHILEM node, so the bit count is the subject length plus one times the number of nodes. Nothing checks that product for positive overflow of the signed 32-bit count: a 286331153 byte subject matched against a pattern with 15 participating nodes stores the count as 14, leaving a two byte cache. The cache is then indexed from the real match position and node number, so reads go past the end of the allocation, and on failure CACHEsayNO sets a bit past it. A caller that matches an attacker controlled subject of this size against a pattern of this shape can crash the process or corrupt heap memory.

NAME

App::Prove::State::Result - Individual test suite results.

VERSION

Version 3.52

DESCRIPTION

The prove command supports a --state option that instructs it to store persistent state across runs. This module encapsulates the results for a single test suite run.

SYNOPSIS

# Re-run failed tests
$ prove --state=failed,save -rbv

METHODS

Class Methods

new

my $result = App::Prove::State::Result->new({
    generation => $generation,
    tests      => \%tests,
});

Returns a new App::Prove::State::Result instance.

state_version

Returns the current version of state storage.

test_class

Returns the name of the class used for tracking individual tests. This class should either subclass from App::Prove::State::Result::Test or provide an identical interface.

generation

Getter/setter for the "generation" of the test suite run. The first generation is 1 (one) and subsequent generations are 2, 3, etc.

last_run_time

Getter/setter for the time of the test suite run.

tests

Returns the tests for a given generation. This is a hashref or a hash, depending on context called. The keys to the hash are the individual test names and the value is a hashref with various interesting values. Each k/v pair might resemble something like this:

't/foo.t' => {
   elapsed        => '0.0428488254547119',
   gen            => '7',
   last_pass_time => '1219328376.07815',
   last_result    => '0',
   last_run_time  => '1219328376.07815',
   last_todo      => '0',
   mtime          => '1191708862',
   seq            => '192',
   total_passes   => '6',
 }

test

my $test = $result->test('t/customer/create.t');

Returns an individual App::Prove::State::Result::Test instance for the given test name (usually the filename). Will return a new App::Prove::State::Result::Test instance if the name is not found.

test_names

Returns an list of test names, sorted by run order.

remove

$result->remove($test_name);            # remove the test
my $test = $result->test($test_name);   # fatal error

Removes a given test from results. This is a no-op if the test name is not found.

num_tests

Returns the number of tests for a given test suite result.

raw

Returns a hashref of raw results, suitable for serialization by YAML.
