CVE-2026-8376 CRITICAL PATCH Act Now

Heap-based buffer overflow in Perl interpreters up to and including 5.43.10 on 32-bit builds lets a caller that compiles an attacker-controlled regular expression corrupt heap memory at regex compile time, with potential for code execution. The flaw stems from an integer overflow in Perl_study_chunk when optimizing a repeated fixed substring, and is rated CVSS 9.8 by NVD. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; the issue is limited to 32-bit Perl builds and applications that feed untrusted input into regex compilation.
