CVE-2026-10879 1 Perl 1 Dbi 2026-06-10 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
DBI versions before 1.648 for Perl have a heap overflow when preparsing SQL statements with more than 9 binders. The preparse method expands SQL placeholder characters to numbered binders of the form :pN, but only allocates three characters per binder in the buffer. Placeholders 10-99 require four characters, 100-999 require five characters, et cetera.
CVE-2026-9698 1 Perl 1 Dbi 2026-06-09 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
DBI versions before 1.648 for Perl saved errors in a limited-sized buffer. Error messages that were returned when RaiseError, PrintError or HandleError were set were written to a 200-byte buffer without a length limit. Attackers that can influence the error text in an application can trigger a buffer overflow.
CVE-2026-8376 1 Perl 1 Perl 2026-05-27 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
Perl versions through 5.43.10 have a heap buffer overflow when compiling regular expressions with a repeated fixed string on 32-bit builds. Perl_study_chunk in regcomp_study.c checked the size of the joined substring buffer in characters rather than bytes. For a quantified fixed substring with a large minimum count, the byte length mincount * l could overflow SSize_t, producing an undersized SvGROW allocation; the subsequent copy writes past the end of the buffer. A caller that compiles an attacker-controlled regular expression on a 32-bit perl build triggers a heap buffer overflow at compile time.
CVE-2015-8608 1 Perl 1 Perl 2026-05-13 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 2026-05-13 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Heap-based buffer overflow in the S_regatom 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 cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a regular expression with a '\N{}' escape and the case-insensitive modifier.
CVE-2017-12883 1 Perl 1 Perl 2026-05-13 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 2026-05-13 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-2016-2381 5 Canonical, Debian, Opensuse and 2 more 10 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Opensuse and 7 more 2026-05-06 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Perl might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism in a child process via duplicate environment variables in envp.
CVE-2016-1246 3 Dbd-mysql Project, Debian, Perl 3 Dbd-mysql, Debian Linux, Perl 2026-05-06 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 2026-05-06 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
(1) cpan/Archive-Tar/bin/ptar, (2) cpan/Archive-Tar/bin/ptardiff, (3) cpan/Archive-Tar/bin/ptargrep, (4) cpan/CPAN/scripts/cpan, (5) cpan/Digest-SHA/shasum, (6) cpan/Encode/bin/enc2xs, (7) cpan/Encode/bin/encguess, (8) cpan/Encode/bin/piconv, (9) cpan/Encode/bin/ucmlint, (10) cpan/Encode/bin/unidump, (11) cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/bin/instmodsh, (12) cpan/IO-Compress/bin/zipdetails, (13) cpan/JSON-PP/bin/json_pp, (14) cpan/Test-Harness/bin/prove, (15) dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS/lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp, (16) dist/Module-CoreList/corelist, (17) ext/Pod-Html/bin/pod2html, (18) utils/c2ph.PL, (19) utils/h2ph.PL, (20) utils/h2xs.PL, (21) utils/libnetcfg.PL, (22) utils/perlbug.PL, (23) utils/perldoc.PL, (24) utils/perlivp.PL, and (25) utils/splain.PL in Perl 5.x before 5.22.3-RC2 and 5.24 before 5.24.1-RC2 do not properly remove . (period) characters from the end of the includes directory array, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse module under the current working directory.
CVE-2014-4330 2 Data Dumper Project, Perl 2 Data Dumper, Perl 2026-05-06 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-2015-8607 3 Canonical, Debian, Perl 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Pathtools 2026-05-06 7.5 HIGH 7.3 HIGH
The canonpath function in the File::Spec module in PathTools before 3.62, as used in Perl, does not properly preserve the taint attribute of data, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism via a crafted string.
CVE-2013-7329 1 Perl 1 Cgi Application Module 2026-05-06 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The CGI::Application module before 4.50_50 and 4.50_51 for Perl, when run modes are not specified, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (web queries and environment details) via vectors related to the dump_html function.
CVE-2013-7422 2 Apple, Perl 2 Mac Os X, Perl 2026-05-06 7.5 HIGH N/A
Integer underflow in regcomp.c in Perl before 5.20, as used in Apple OS X before 10.10.5 and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long digit string associated with an invalid backreference within a regular expression.
CVE-2015-8853 2 Fedoraproject, Perl 2 Fedora, Perl 2026-05-06 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The (1) S_reghop3, (2) S_reghop4, and (3) S_reghopmaybe3 functions in regexec.c in Perl before 5.24.0 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted utf-8 data, as demonstrated by "a\x80."
CVE-2016-6185 5 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 2 more 2026-05-06 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The XSLoader::load method in XSLoader in Perl does not properly locate .so files when called in a string eval, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse library under the current working directory.
CVE-2013-1667 1 Perl 1 Perl 2026-04-29 7.5 HIGH N/A
The rehash mechanism in Perl 5.8.2 through 5.16.x allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) via a crafted hash key.
CVE-2011-1487 1 Perl 1 Perl 2026-04-29 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The (1) lc, (2) lcfirst, (3) uc, and (4) ucfirst functions in Perl 5.10.x, 5.11.x, and 5.12.x through 5.12.3, and 5.13.x through 5.13.11, do not apply the taint attribute to the return value upon processing tainted input, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism via a crafted string.
CVE-2012-1151 1 Perl 1 Perl 2026-04-29 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in dbdimp.c in DBD::Pg (aka DBD-Pg or libdbd-pg-perl) module before 2.19.0 for Perl allow remote PostgreSQL database servers to cause a denial of service (process crash) via format string specifiers in (1) a crafted database warning to the pg_warn function or (2) a crafted DBD statement to the dbd_st_prepare function.
CVE-2011-4363 2 Frii, Perl 2 Proc\, Perl 2026-04-29 2.6 LOW N/A
