Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Module::Load versions before 0.22 for Perl allow arbitrary modules outside of @INC to be loaded.

Module names starting with "::" could be passed to the load function to specify arbitrary module paths.

Attackers able to influence module names passed to load could use that bug to execute arbitrary code.
Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2026-07-31 09:01:58 UTC 
This was fixed with the release of Module::Load 0.22 in 2011.

All current Fedora releases have Module::Load 0.36.
