CVE-2024-56406

Media report

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in Perl. 

Release branches 5.34, 5.36, 5.38 and 5.40 are affected, including development versions from 5.33.1 through 5.41.10.

When there are non-ASCII bytes in the left-hand-side of the `tr` operator, `S_do_trans_invmap` can overflow the destination pointer `d`.

   $ perl -e '$_ = "\x{FF}" x 1000000; tr/\xFF/\x{100}/;' 
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It is believed that this vulnerability can enable Denial of Service and possibly Code Execution attacks on platforms that lack sufficient defenses.

CWE-122 Heap-based Buffer Overflow

A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().

CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write

The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
