Sign up[CVE-2015-8607] XS File::Spec::canonpath loses taint #15084
Comments
From @xdgIt looks like the XS canonpath shipped with Perl 5.20 (corresponding to I.e. A patch to the PathTools tests to demonstrate this is here: This is a regression from PathTools-3.40. I have spot checked back to 3.12 As most File::Spec functions wash data through canonpath, this means that I believe this warrants a CVE report and will need backported fixes for David -- |

Subject: [perl #126862] ensure File::Spec::canonpath() preserves taint
Previously the unix specific XS implementation of canonpath() would
return an untainted path when supplied a tainted path.
For the empty string case, newSVpvs() already sets taint as needed on
its result.
