CVE-2012-5195 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-11 7.5 HIGH N/A
Heap-based buffer overflow in the Perl_repeatcpy function in util.c in Perl 5.12.x before 5.12.5, 5.14.x before 5.14.3, and 5.15.x before 15.15.5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the 'x' string repeat operator.
CVE-2010-4777 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-11 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
The Perl_reg_numbered_buff_fetch function in Perl 5.10.0, 5.12.0, 5.14.0, and other versions, when running with debugging enabled, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via crafted input that is not properly handled when using certain regular expressions, as demonstrated by causing SpamAssassin and OCSInventory to crash.
CVE-2010-1168 2 Perl, Rafael Garcia-suarez 2 Perl, Safe 2025-04-11 7.5 HIGH N/A
The Safe (aka Safe.pm) module before 2.25 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended (1) Safe::reval and (2) Safe::rdo access restrictions, and inject and execute arbitrary code, via vectors involving implicitly called methods and implicitly blessed objects, as demonstrated by the (a) DESTROY and (b) AUTOLOAD methods, related to "automagic methods."
CVE-2011-0761 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-11 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Perl 5.10.x allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by leveraging an ability to inject arguments into a (1) getpeername, (2) readdir, (3) closedir, (4) getsockname, (5) rewinddir, (6) tell, or (7) telldir function call.
CVE-2011-2939 2 Dan Kogai, Perl 2 Encode Module, Perl 2025-04-11 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
Off-by-one error in the decode_xs function in Unicode/Unicode.xs in the Encode module before 2.44, as used in Perl before 5.15.6, might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Unicode string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
CVE-2011-3599 2 Adam Kennedy, Perl 2 Crypt-dsa, Perl 2025-04-11 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
The Crypt::DSA (aka Crypt-DSA) module 1.17 and earlier for Perl, when /dev/random is absent, uses the Data::Random module, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof a signature, or determine the signing key of a signed message, via a brute-force attack.
CVE-2009-0663 2 Cmu, Perl 2 Dbd\, Perl 2025-04-09 7.5 HIGH N/A
Heap-based buffer overflow in the DBD::Pg (aka DBD-Pg or libdbd-pg-perl) module 1.49 for Perl might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified input to an application that uses the getline and pg_getline functions to read database rows.
CVE-2008-1927 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-09 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Double free vulnerability in Perl 5.8.8 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) via a crafted regular expression containing UTF8 characters. NOTE: this issue might only be present on certain operating systems.
CVE-2008-5303 1 Perl 2 File\, Perl 2025-04-09 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path 1.08 (lib/File/Path.pm) in Perl 5.8.8 allows local users to to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448, CVE-2004-0452, and CVE-2008-2827. NOTE: this is a regression error related to CVE-2005-0448. It is different from CVE-2008-5302 due to affected versions.
CVE-2009-3626 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-09 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Perl 5.10.1 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a UTF-8 character with a large, invalid codepoint, which is not properly handled during a regular-expression match.
CVE-2009-1884 2 Bzip, Perl 2 Compress-raw-bzip2, Perl 2025-04-09 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
Off-by-one error in the bzinflate function in Bzip2.xs in the Compress-Raw-Bzip2 module before 2.018 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang or crash) via a crafted bzip2 compressed stream that triggers a buffer overflow, a related issue to CVE-2009-1391.
CVE-2008-2827 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-09 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
The rmtree function in lib/File/Path.pm in Perl 5.10 does not properly check permissions before performing a chmod, which allows local users to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448 and CVE-2004-0452.
CVE-2008-5302 1 Perl 2 File\, Perl 2025-04-09 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path 1.08 and 2.07 (lib/File/Path.pm) in Perl 5.8.8 and 5.10.0 allows local users to create arbitrary setuid binaries via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448, CVE-2004-0452, and CVE-2008-2827. NOTE: this is a regression error related to CVE-2005-0448. It is different from CVE-2008-5303 due to affected versions.
CVE-1999-1386 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-03 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
Perl 5.004_04 and earlier follows symbolic links when running with the -e option, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/perl-eaXXXXX file.
CVE-2005-3962 1 Perl 1 Perl 2025-04-03 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
Integer overflow in the format string functionality (Perl_sv_vcatpvfn) in Perl 5.9.2 and 5.8.6 Perl allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers with large values, which causes an integer wrap and leads to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using format string vulnerabilities in Perl applications.
CVE-2023-47038 3 Fedoraproject, Perl, Redhat 5 Fedora, Perl, Enterprise Linux and 2 more 2025-03-27 N/A 7.0 HIGH
A vulnerability was found in perl 5.30.0 through 5.38.0. This issue occurs when a crafted regular expression is compiled by perl, which can allow an attacker controlled byte buffer overflow in a heap allocated buffer.
CVE-2023-31486 2 Http\, Perl 2 \, Perl 2025-01-30 N/A 8.1 HIGH
HTTP::Tiny before 0.083, a Perl core module since 5.13.9 and available standalone on CPAN, has an insecure default TLS configuration where users must opt in to verify certificates.
CVE-2023-47100 1 Perl 1 Perl 2024-11-21 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
In Perl before 5.38.2, S_parse_uniprop_string in regcomp.c can write to unallocated space because a property name associated with a \p{...} regular expression construct is mishandled. The earliest affected version is 5.30.0.
CVE-2023-47039 2 Microsoft, Perl 2 Windows, Perl 2024-11-21 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability was found in Perl. This security issue occurs while Perl for Windows relies on the system path environment variable to find the shell (`cmd.exe`). When running an executable that uses the Windows Perl interpreter, Perl attempts to find and execute `cmd.exe` within the operating system. However, due to path search order issues, Perl initially looks for cmd.exe in the current working directory. This flaw allows an attacker with limited privileges to place`cmd.exe` in locations with weak permissions, such as `C:\ProgramData`. By doing so, arbitrary code can be executed when an administrator attempts to use this executable from these compromised locations.
CVE-2023-31484 2 Cpanpm Project, Perl 2 Cpanpm, Perl 2024-11-21 N/A 8.1 HIGH
CPAN.pm before 2.35 does not verify TLS certificates when downloading distributions over HTTPS.
