CVE-2026-65067 EGOR CVE debrief

Who should care

Users of Data::Intern::Shared versions before 0.02 for Perl should be aware of this vulnerability. Local users may be able to read sensitive information stored in the shared segment. Operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams should review the vulnerability and take necessary actions.

Technical summary

The Data::Intern::Shared package creates a shared segment in a directory like /tmp or /dev/shm with permissions that allow any local user to read the contents. The open call uses mode 0666 and does not specify O_EXCL or O_NOFOLLOW, making it possible for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. A pre-planted file or symlink at the path can be used by a local attacker to win a pre-creation race or redirect the open. This allows any local user to read IPC payloads stored in the world-readable segment.

Defensive priority

Recommended defensive actions
