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 5.87 - 2014-02-17

  • simplified capture of intermediate SHA states
    • can now be done via strings (ref. getstate/putstate)
    • substantially reduces size of src/sha.c
  • tightened code in SHA.xs
    • added sv_isa checks when invoking methods
