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 5.50 - 2010-12-14

  • adopted convention that '-' always means STDIN
    • actual filename '-' accessed as './-'
    • accords with behavior of sha1sum/md5sum
  • corrected undefined subroutine oversight in shasum
    • inadvertent migration of _bail() from SHA.pm
