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

VERSION

Version 3.48

DESCRIPTION

TAP version 13
ok 1
not ok 2

The first version of TAP to include an explicit version number is 13.

OVERRIDDEN METHODS

Mainly listed here to shut up the pitiful screams of the pod coverage tests. They keep me awake at night.

  • as_string

  • raw

Instance Methods

version

if ( $result->is_version ) {
   print $result->version;
}

This is merely a synonym for as_string.
