A flaw in versions of perl before 5.15.5 can +escalate that into a heap buffer overrun; coupled with versions of glibc +before 2.16, it possibly allows the execution of arbitrary code. +.PP +This problem has been fixed. +.SH "Incompatible Changes" +.IX Header "Incompatible Changes" +There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.14.0.

[perl +#101710] +.IP \(bu 4 +In case-insensitive regular expression pattern matching, no longer on +UTF\-8 encoded strings does the scan for the start of match only look at +the first possible position.

The following people are known to have contributed the +improvements that became Perl 5.14.3: +.PP +Abigail, Andy Dougherty, Carl Hayter, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dave Rolsky, +David Mitchell, Dominic Hargreaves, Father Chrysostomos, Florian Ragwitz, +H.Merijn Brand, Jilles Tjoelker, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Michael G +Schwern, Nicholas Clark, Niko Tyni, Pino Toscano, Ricardo Signes, Salvador +Fandiño, Samuel Thibault, Steve Hay, Tony Cook. +.PP +The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated +from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of +the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug +tracker. +.PP +Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules +included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for +helping Perl to flourish. +.PP +For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see +the \fIAUTHORS\fR file in the Perl source distribution. +.SH "Reporting Bugs" +.IX Header "Reporting Bugs" +If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles +recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl +bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be +information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. +.PP +If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the perlbug +program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down +to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the +output of \f(CW\*(C`perl \-V\*(C'\fR, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be +analysed by the Perl porting team. +.PP +If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it +inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send +it to perl5\-security\-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription +unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able +to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help +co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all +platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for +security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently +distributed on CPAN. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +The \fIChanges\fR file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details +on what changed. +.PP +The \fIINSTALL\fR file for how to build Perl. +.PP +The \fIREADME\fR file for general stuff. +.PP +The \fIArtistic\fR and \fICopying\fR files for copyright information. |
