Changes for version 4.34

  • SECURITY: Patch CGI::Session::Driver::file to stop \ and / characters being used in session ids and hence in file names. These characters, possibly combined with '..', could have been used to access files outside the designated session file directory. Reported by TAN Chew Keong of vuln.sg.
  • FIX: Patch CGI::Session to propagate error upwards when _load_pluggables() fails. See RT#37628 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490198.
  • INTERNAL: Ship a machine-readable version of this file under the name Changelog.ini. The latter file is generated by ini.report.pl, which is shipped with Module::Metadata::Changes. The reason Changelog.ini does not contain a separate section for each version in this file is that some of the versions documented below have no datestamp, and ini.report.pl does not create fake datestamps.
