Hi all
Breaking out a Safe compartment is all about compiling code that will
be executed later. It happens that there are working exploits that use
a combination of %SIG and eval inside the safe-evaled block to execute
such compilations; then arbitrary commands can be run on any signal
received by the process that compiled the safe compartment.
(I repeat it again -- without this fix it's possible to make perl
execute `rm -fr /` through code passed to Safe. So the fix stays.)
The fix I put in Safe was to simply wipe out %SIG in the Safe
compartment. In theory that should not have been necessary, since %SIG
is not shared between %main:: and the Safe root stash, but that's
apparently not how the perl internals work; so, to have a fix
back-portable to older perls, I did not found any other way. If
someone wants to investigate, I'll be happy to provide details...
Also I'd like to understand why you need to set signal handlers in a
Safe compartment. As far as I can tell this has only ever worked by
accident.
