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

TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Job - A single testing job.

VERSION

Version 3.48

SYNOPSIS

use TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Job;

DESCRIPTION

Represents a single test 'job'.

METHODS

Class Methods

new

my $job = TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Job->new(
    $filename, $description
);

Given the filename and description of a test as scalars, returns a new TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Job object.

Instance Methods

on_finish

$self->on_finish(\&method).

Register a closure to be called when this job is destroyed. The callback will be passed the TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Job object as it's only argument.

finish

$self->finish;

Called when a job is complete to unlock it. If a callback has been registered with on_finish, it calls it. Otherwise, it does nothing.

Attributes

$self->filename;
$self->description;
$self->context;

These are all "getters" which return the data set for these attributes during object construction.

filename

description

context

as_array_ref

For backwards compatibility in callbacks.

is_spinner

$self->is_spinner;

Returns false indicating that this is a real job rather than a 'spinner'. Spinners are returned when the scheduler still has pending jobs but can't (because of locking) return one right now.
