CVE-2016-1238

Digest::SHA before 5.96 with perls earlier than v5.26 included the current working directory in the module search path, which could lead to the inadvernant loading of unexpected versions of a module. The current directory was removed from the default module search path in perls from v5.26 and later.

Changes for version 5.49 - 2010-12-12

  • modified Addfile to accept all POSIX filenames
    • standard allows all characters except NUL and '/'
  • updated shasum to more closely mimic sha1sum/md5sum
    • added "backslash processing" to handle newlines and backslashes in filenames
    • now accepts all POSIX filenames via Addfile
    • thanks to Sean Burke for identifying edge cases
