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 5.90 - 2014-05-07

  • consolidated all dynamic memory allocation into XSUBs
    • streamlines referencing of SHA objects
    • simplifies DESTROYing of objects
  • enhanced Makefile.PL to allow 'use warnings'
    • automatically reverts to $^W for early Perls
  • scrubbed C and Perl code to remove all compiler warnings
