This document describes differences between the 5.38.3 release and the 5.38.4
10+
release.
11+

If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.38.2, first read

=head2 [CVE-2024-56406] Heap buffer overflow vulnerability with tr//
18+
19+
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in Perl.
20+
21+
When there are non-ASCII bytes in the left-hand-side of the C<tr> operator,
22+
C<S_do_trans_invmap()> can overflow the destination pointer C<d>.
23+
24+
$ perl -e '$_ = "\x{FF}" x 1000000; tr/\xFF/\x{100}/;'
25+
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
26+
27+
It is believed that this vulnerability can enable Denial of Service or
28+
Arbitrary Code Execution attacks on platforms that lack sufficient defenses.
29+
30+
Discovered by: Nathan Mills.
31+
32+
=head1 Incompatible Changes
33+
34+
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.38.3. If any exist,
35+
they are bugs, and we request that you submit a report. See L</Reporting Bugs>

52+
Perl 5.38.4 represents approximately 3 months of development since Perl 5.38.3
53+
and contains approximately 1,500 lines of changes across 36 files from 7
54+
authors.
55+
56+
Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
57+
approximately 640 lines of changes to 5 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
58+
59+
Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community
60+
of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed
61+
the improvements that became Perl 5.38.4:
62+
63+
Karl Williamson, Lukas Mai, Max Maischein, Paul Evans, Richard Leach, Steve
64+
Hay, Thibault Duponchelle.
65+
66+
The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated
67+
from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of
68+
the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
69+
tracker.
70+
71+
Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
72+
included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
73+
helping Perl to flourish.
74+
75+
