| Description | Data::ReqRep::Shared versions before 0.05 for Perl allow an out-of-bounds read via an unvalidated arena offset and length in reqrep_recv_locked. The attach-time validator reqrep_validate_header checks the header scalars and region layout against the file size, but does not validate the array contents it then trusts. reqrep_recv_locked does memcpy(copy_buf, req_arena + arena_off, len) with arena_off and len read raw from the mmap'd segment and never bounded against the arena capacity (req_arena_cap). A local peer that can write the backing file can leave the header valid while poisoning a request slot's offset and length, so receiving the request copies a file-controlled offset and length out of the arena, reading adjacent memory or crashing the process. |

Additional Advisory Data
Solutions
CNA: Upgrade to Data::ReqRep::Shared 0.05 or later, which bounds the arena offset and length against the arena capacity before the copy.
Workarounds
CNA: For deployments that cannot upgrade to 0.05, place the backing file in a directory writable only by the owning user, so a local peer cannot tamper with the segment contents the read path trusts.
There are currently no legacy QID mappings associated with this CVE.
