Source: libunicode-linebreak-perl Version: 0.0.20190101-1 Severity: important Tags: security upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], Debian Security Team <[email protected]>
Hi, The following vulnerability was published for libunicode-linebreak-perl. CVE-2026-8594[0]: | Text::LineFold versions through 2019.001 for Perl duplicate the | output based on the number of special break characters. | Text::LineFold splits the input string by specific line break | characters (such as VT, FF and others) into segments, but applies | the break function to the entire string, not just the segment. A | side effect of this is that the full input can be duplicated for | each segment. Besides being incorrect, this can lead to unexpected | resource consumption and possible denial of service. Note that | Text::LineFold is part of the Unicode-LineBreak distribution, which | may have a higher version number than the module. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
