| CVE-2008-5302 | 1 Perl | 2 File\, Perl | 2026-04-23 | 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-2026-4176 | 1 Perl | 1 Perl | 2026-04-22 | N/A | 9.8 CRITICAL |
| Perl versions from 5.9.4 before 5.40.4-RC1, from 5.41.0 before 5.42.2-RC1, from 5.43.0 before 5.43.9 contain a vulnerable version of Compress::Raw::Zlib. Compress::Raw::Zlib is included in the Perl package as a dual-life core module, and is vulnerable to CVE-2026-3381 due to a vendored version of zlib which has several vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-27171. The bundled Compress::Raw::Zlib was updated to version 2.221 in Perl blead commit c75ae9cc164205e1b6d6dbd57bd2c65c8593fe94. | |||||
| CVE-1999-1386 | 1 Perl | 1 Perl | 2026-04-16 | 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 | 2026-04-16 | 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 | 2025-11-04 | 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-2023-31484 | 2 Cpanpm Project, Perl | 2 Cpanpm, Perl | 2025-11-03 | N/A | 8.1 HIGH |
| CPAN.pm before 2.35 does not verify TLS certificates when downloading distributions over HTTPS. | |||||
| CVE-2021-36770 | 3 Fedoraproject, P5-encode Project, Perl | 3 Fedora, P5-encode, Perl | 2025-11-03 | 6.8 MEDIUM | 7.8 HIGH |
| Encode.pm, as distributed in Perl through 5.34.0, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Encode::ConfigLocal library (in the current working directory) that preempts dynamic module loading. Exploitation requires an unusual configuration, and certain 2021 versions of Encode.pm (3.05 through 3.11). This issue occurs because the || operator evaluates @INC in a scalar context, and thus @INC has only an integer value. | |||||
| CVE-2024-56406 | 1 Perl | 1 Perl | 2025-10-16 | N/A | 8.4 HIGH |
| A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in Perl. Release branches 5.34, 5.36, 5.38 and 5.40 are affected, including development versions from 5.33.1 through 5.41.10. When there are non-ASCII bytes in the left-hand-side of the `tr` operator, `S_do_trans_invmap` can overflow the destination pointer `d`. $ perl -e '$_ = "\x{FF}" x 1000000; tr/\xFF/\x{100}/;' Segmentation fault (core dumped) It is believed that this vulnerability can enable Denial of Service and possibly Code Execution attacks on platforms that lack sufficient defenses. | |||||
| CVE-2015-8608 | 1 Perl | 1 Perl | 2025-04-20 | 7.5 HIGH | 9.8 CRITICAL |
| The VDir::MapPathA and VDir::MapPathW functions in Perl 5.22 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) drive letter or (2) pInName argument. | |||||
| CVE-2017-12837 | 1 Perl | 1 Perl | 2025-04-20 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |

| CVE-2017-12883 | 1 Perl | 1 Perl | 2025-04-20 | 6.4 MEDIUM | 9.1 CRITICAL |
| Buffer overflow in the S_grok_bslash_N function in regcomp.c in Perl 5 before 5.24.3-RC1 and 5.26.x before 5.26.1-RC1 allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted regular expression with an invalid '\N{U+...}' escape. | |||||
| CVE-2017-12814 | 2 Microsoft, Perl | 2 Windows, Perl | 2025-04-20 | 7.5 HIGH | 9.8 CRITICAL |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the CPerlHost::Add method in win32/perlhost.h in Perl before 5.24.3-RC1 and 5.26.x before 5.26.1-RC1 on Windows allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long environment variable. | |||||

| CVE-2016-1246 | 3 Dbd-mysql Project, Debian, Perl | 3 Dbd-mysql, Debian Linux, Perl | 2025-04-12 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| Buffer overflow in the DBD::mysql module before 4.037 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to an error message. | |||||
| CVE-2016-1238 | 5 Apache, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more | 5 Spamassassin, Debian Linux, Fedora and 2 more | 2025-04-12 | 7.2 HIGH | 7.8 HIGH |

| CVE-2014-4330 | 2 Data Dumper Project, Perl | 2 Data Dumper, Perl | 2025-04-12 | 2.1 LOW | N/A |
| The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, as used in Perl 5.20.1 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls to the DD_dump function. | |||||
| CVE-2013-7422 | 2 Apple, Perl | 2 Mac Os X, Perl | 2025-04-12 | 7.5 HIGH | N/A |
