[CVE-2020-10543] Buffer overflow caused by a crafted regular expression
A signed "size_t" integer overflow in the storage space calculations for nested regular expression
quantifiers could cause a heap buffer overflow in Perl's regular expression compiler that overwrites memory
allocated after the regular expression storage space with attacker supplied data.
The target system needs a sufficient amount of memory to allocate partial expansions of the nested
quantifiers prior to the overflow occurring. This requirement is unlikely to be met on 64-bit systems.
[CVE-2020-10878] Integer overflow via malformed bytecode produced by a crafted regular expression
Integer overflows in the calculation of offsets between instructions for the regular expression engine could
cause corruption of the intermediate language state of a compiled regular expression. An attacker could
abuse this behaviour to insert instructions into the compiled form of a Perl regular expression.
[CVE-2020-12723] Buffer overflow caused by a crafted regular expression
Recursive calls to "S_study_chunk()" by Perl's regular expression compiler to optimize the intermediate
language representation of a regular expression could cause corruption of the intermediate language state of
a compiled regular expression.
Additional Note
An application written in Perl would only be vulnerable to any of the above flaws if it evaluates regular
expressions supplied by the attacker. Evaluating regular expressions in this fashion is known to be
dangerous since the regular expression engine does not protect against denial of service attacks in this
usage scenario.
Incompatible Changes
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with Perl 5.30.2.
