Summary

Vulnerability in the Data::SpatialHash::Shared library for Perl before version 0.02 allows out-of-bounds reads and writes. A local attacker who can write to the backing file can manipulate indices, leading to memory corruption or process crash.

Risk Assessment

The attack may cause application crashes or potential arbitrary code execution, threatening system stability and data integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Data::SpatialHash::Shared library to version 0.02 or later.

Other vulnerabilities in Data::SpatialHash::Shared

CVE-2026-65068Low
Data::SpatialHash::Shared versions before 0.02 for Perl create a world-readable mmap backing file and open it without O_EXCL or O_NOFOLLOW. The segment is created with mode 0666, so under the default umask 022 the file is created mode 0644 (world-readable). O_NOFOLLOW is absent, so a symlink planted at the path is followed, and O_EXCL is absent, so the open silently uses a pre-planted file instead of failing.

Original NVD description (English source)

Data::SpatialHash::Shared versions before 0.02 for Perl allow out-of-bounds reads and writes via unvalidated bucket, link and free-list indices in sph_walk_cell and sph_alloc_slot. The attach-time validator sph_validate_header checks the header scalars and region layout against the file size, but does not validate the array contents it then trusts. sph_walk_cell reads entries[buckets[b]] and follows each entry's next link raw, and sph_alloc_slot writes through a file-stored free_head index, none bounded against the entry count (max_entries). A local peer that can write the backing file can leave the header valid while poisoning the bucket chain and free list, so a query reads through an out-of-bounds bucket and next index and an insert writes through an out-of-bounds free-list head, corrupting memory or crashing the process.
