Last modified

CVE-2026-107794 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::List versions before 1.07 for Perl allocate a 32 GiB array on an empty list. The OUTPUT typemaps call av_extend( av, len-1 ). On an empty list, this undeflows, and av_extend will allocate an array with 2^32 slots, leading to memory exhaustion. Note that a similar issue was fixed in ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector version 1.05.. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
