CVE-2024-56830 (2025-01-02)

The Net::EasyTCP package 0.15 through 0.26 for Perl uses Perl's builtin rand() if no strong randomization module is present.

Changes for version 0.17

  • Fixed some warnings that might have been generated by use strict/warnings. Thanks to Michael Krause.
  • Changed test.pl a fork() to create a seperate client-and-server processes instead of trying to multitask using select() and alarms (that failed on some older SunOSs).
  • Test script no longer hangs at step #4 for that long.
  • Fixed minor error message if do_one_loop() was invoked on a client object.
