-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-eb868d383c 2018-06-14 18:14:18.568425 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl Product : Fedora 27 Version : 5.26.2 Release : 406.fc27 URL : http://www.perl.org/ Summary : Practical Extraction and Report Language Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. This is a metapackage with all the Perl bits and core modules that can be found in the upstream tarball from perl.org. If you need only a specific feature, you can install a specific package instead. E.g. to handle Perl scripts with /usr/bin/perl interpreter, install perl-interpreter package. See perl-interpreter description for more details on the Perl decomposition into packages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This release fixes building XS modules, clobbering file bytes in :encoding layers, line numbering in multi-line search-and-replace operations, parsing extended bracketed character classes, an uninitialized memory read in the Perl parser, and an infinite loop in the regular expression compiler. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri May 25 2018 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.2-406 - perl-devel requires redhat-rpm-config because of hardened compiler profiles (bug #1557667) - Do not clobber file bytes in :encoding layer (RT#132833) - Fix line numbers in multi-line s/// (RT#131930) - Fix parsing extended bracketed character classes (RT#132167) - Fix a possibly unitialized memory read in the Perl parser (RT#133074) - Fix an infinite loop in the regular expression compiler (RT#133185) * Fri May 18 2018 Jitka Plesnikova <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.2-405 - Correct license tags of perl-libs (bug #1579524) * Mon Apr 16 2018 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.2-404 - 5.26.2 bump - Fix CVE-2018-6913 (heap buffer overflow in pp_pack.c) (bug #1567776) - Fix CVE-2018-6798 (heap read overflow in regexec.c) (bug #1567777) - Fix CVE-2018-6797 (heap write overflow in regcomp.c) (bug #1567778) * Tue Feb 6 2018 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.1-403 - Add patch to conditionalize a fix for an old and long fixed bug in libcrypt / glibc (rhbz#1536752) - Link XS modules to pthread library to fix linking with -z defs - Correct shell bangs in tests - Fix parsing braced subscript after parentheses (RT#8045) - Fix a heap use after free when moving a stack (RT#131954) - Call ldconfig scriptlets using a macro * Tue Jan 9 2018 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.26.1-402 - Remove invalid macro definitions from macros.perl (bug #1532539) - Fix an overflow in the lexer when reading a new line (RT#131793) - Fix Term::ReadLine not to create spurious &STDERR files (RT#132008) - Fix a crash when a match for inversely repeated group fails (RT#132017) - Fix an overflow when parsing a character range with no preceding character (RT#132245) - Fix walking symbol table for ISA in Carp - Fix handling file names with null bytes in stat and lstat functions (RT#131895) - Fix a crash when untying an object witout a stash - Fix deparsing of transliterations with unprintable characters (RT#132405) - Fix error reporting on do() on a directory (RT#125774) - Fix stack manipulation when a lexical subroutine is defined in a do block in a member of an iteration list (RT#132442) - Fix setting $! when statting a closed filehandle (RT#108288) - Fix tainting of s/// with overloaded replacement (RT#115266) - Expand system() arguments before a fork (RT#121105) - Avoid undefined behavior when copying memory in Glob and pp_caller (RT#131746) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1557667 - perl - Config_heavy.pl uses redhat-hardened-cc1 without depending on redhat-rpm-config https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1557667 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
