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::SourceHandler::File - Stream TAP from a text file.

VERSION

Version 3.48

SYNOPSIS

use TAP::Parser::Source;
use TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File;

my $source = TAP::Parser::Source->new->raw( \'file.tap' );
$source->assemble_meta;

my $class = 'TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File';
my $vote  = $class->can_handle( $source );
my $iter  = $class->make_iterator( $source );

DESCRIPTION

This is a raw TAP stored in a file TAP::Parser::SourceHandler - it has 2 jobs:

1. Figure out if the raw source it's given is a file containing raw TAP output. See TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory for more details.

2. Takes raw TAP from the text file given, and converts into an iterator.

Unless you're writing a plugin or subclassing TAP::Parser, you probably won't need to use this module directly.

METHODS

Class Methods

can_handle

my $vote = $class->can_handle( $source );

Only votes if $source looks like a regular file. Casts the following votes:

0.9 if it's a .tap file
0.9 if it has an extension matching any given in user config.

make_iterator

my $iterator = $class->make_iterator( $source );

Returns a new TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream for the source. croaks on error.

iterator_class

The class of iterator to use, override if you're sub-classing. Defaults to TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream.

CONFIGURATION

{
 extensions => [ @case_insensitive_exts_to_match ]
}

SUBCLASSING

Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.
