Security Advisories (1)
CVE-2025-40909 (2025-05-30)

Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths. If a directory handle is open at thread creation, the process-wide current working directory is temporarily changed in order to clone that handle for the new thread, which is visible from any third (or more) thread already running. This may lead to unintended operations such as loading code or accessing files from unexpected locations, which a local attacker may be able to exploit. The bug was introduced in commit 11a11ecf4bea72b17d250cfb43c897be1341861e and released in Perl version 5.13.6

NAME

Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm - render Pod with terminal escapes

SYNOPSIS

perldoc -o term Some::Modulename

DESCRIPTION

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Text as a formatter class.

It supports the following options, which are explained in Pod::Text: alt, indent, loose, quotes, sentence, width

For example:

perldoc -o term -w indent:5 Some::Modulename

PAGER FORMATTING

Depending on the platform, and because this class emits terminal escapes it will attempt to set the -R flag on your pager by injecting the flag into your environment variable for less or more.

On Windows and DOS, this class will not modify any environment variables.

CAVEAT

This module may change to use a different text formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
