-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2025-f142899732 2025-07-13 02:56:45.883771+00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : perl Product : Fedora 41 Version : 5.40.2 Release : 516.fc41 URL : https://www.perl.org/ Summary : Practical Extraction and Report Language Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. This is a metapackage with all the Perl bits and core modules that can be found in the upstream tarball from perl.org. If you need only a specific feature, you can install a specific package instead. E.g. to handle Perl scripts with /usr/bin/perl interpreter, install perl-interpreter package. See perl-interpreter description for more details on the Perl decomposition into packages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fixes CVE-2025-40909 - Clone dirhandles without fchdir -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Jul 9 2025 Jitka Plesnikova <jplesnik@redhat.com> - 4:5.40.2-516 - Fixes: CVE-2025-40909 - Clone dirhandles without fchdir -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2369463 - CVE-2025-40909 perl: Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths [fedora-42] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2369463 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
