|
|
||
| perl5343delta - what is new for perl v5.34.3 | ||
|
|
||
| =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
|
|
||
| This document describes differences between the 5.34.1 release and the 5.34.3 | ||
| release. B<Please note:> This document ignores Perl 5.34.2, a broken release | ||
| which existed for a couple of days only. | ||
|
|
||
| If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.34.0, first read | ||
| L<perl5341delta>, which describes differences between 5.34.0 and 5.34.1. | ||
|
|
||
| =head1 Security | ||
|
|
||
| This release fixes the following security issues. | ||
|
|
||
| =head2 CVE-2023-47038 - Write past buffer end via illegal user-defined Unicode property | ||
|
|
||
| This vulnerability was reported directly to the Perl security team by | ||
| Nathan Mills C<the.true.nathan.mills@gmail.com>. | ||
|
|
||
| A crafted regular expression when compiled by perl 5.30.0 through | ||
| 5.38.0 can cause a one-byte attacker controlled buffer overflow in a | ||
| heap allocated buffer. | ||
|
|
||
| =head2 CVE-2023-47039 - Perl for Windows binary hijacking vulnerability | ||
|
|
||
| This vulnerability was reported to the Intel Product Security Incident | ||
| Response Team (PSIRT) by GitHub user ycdxsb | ||
| L<https://github.com/ycdxsb/WindowsPrivilegeEscalation>. PSIRT then | ||
| reported it to the Perl security team. | ||
|
|
||
| Perl for Windows relies on the system path environment variable to | ||
| find the shell (C<cmd.exe>). When running an executable which uses | ||
| Windows Perl interpreter, Perl attempts to find and execute C<cmd.exe> | ||
| within the operating system. However, due to path search order issues, | ||
| Perl initially looks for cmd.exe in the current working directory. | ||
|
|
||
| An attacker with limited privileges can exploit this behavior by | ||
| placing C<cmd.exe> in locations with weak permissions, such as | ||
| C<C:\ProgramData>. By doing so, when an administrator attempts to use | ||
| this executable from these compromised locations, arbitrary code can | ||
| be executed. | ||
|
|
||
| =head1 Acknowledgements | ||
|
|
||
| Perl 5.34.3 represents approximately 1 month of development since Perl | ||
| 5.34.1 and contains approximately 3,700 lines of changes across 40 files | ||
| from 4 authors. | ||
|
|
||
| Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were | ||
| approximately 2,800 lines of changes to 9 .pm, .t, .c and .h files. | ||
|
|
||
| Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant | ||
| community of users and developers. The following people are known to have | ||
| contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.34.3: | ||
|
|
||
| Karl Williamson, Paul Evans, Steve Hay, Tony Cook. | ||
|
|
||
| The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically | ||
| generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include | ||
| the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to | ||
| the Perl bug tracker. | ||
|
|
||
| Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules | ||
| included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for | ||
| helping Perl to flourish. | ||
|
|
||
| For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please | ||

|
|
||
| If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database | ||
| at L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. There may also be information at | ||
| L<http://www.perl.org/>, the Perl Home Page. | ||
|
|
||
| If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at | ||
| L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. Be sure to trim your bug down to a | ||
| tiny but sufficient test case. | ||
|
|
||
| If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it | ||
| inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see | ||
| L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION> | ||
| for details of how to report the issue. | ||
