It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled short source addresses in the Socket module. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read, resulting in information disclosure. ( CVE-2026-12087 ) It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled regular expressions containing a large number of fixed string alternatives. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause incorrect regular expression matches, resulting in security restrictions being bypassed. ( CVE-2026-13221 ) It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain large repeat counts when processing pack and unpack templates. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read, resulting in information disclosure. ( CVE-2026-57432 ) It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled...
