      <title>CVE-2025-40909 — Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-40909</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; perl&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a directory handle is open at thread creation, the process-wide current working directory is temporarily changed in order to clone that handle for the new thread, which is visible from any third (or more) thread already running.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This may lead to unintended operations such as loading code or accessing files from unexpected locations, which a local attacker may be able to exploit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bug was introduced in commit 11a11ecf4bea72b17d250cfb43c897be1341861e and released in Perl version 5.13.6&lt;/p&gt;</description>
