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 5.72 - 2012-09-24

  • adjusted module installation directory for later Perls
    • As of 5.11 Perl searches 'site' first, so use that
      • ref. INSTALLDIRS in Makefile.PL
    • thanks to Robert Sedlacek for patch
