432 | 5.14.0 introduced some memory leaks in regular expression character | |
760696b8 | 433 | classes such as C<[\w\s]>, which have now been fixed (5.14.1). |

437 | An edge case in regular expression matching could potentially loop. | |
438 | This happened only under C</i> in bracketed character classes that have | |
439 | characters with multi-character folds, and the target string to match | |
440 | against includes the first portion of the fold, followed by another | |
441 | character that has a multi-character fold that begins with the remaining | |
442 | portion of the fold, plus some more. | |
443 | ||
444 | "s\N{U+DF}" =~ /[\x{DF}foo]/i | |
445 | ||
760696b8 | 446 | is one such case. C<\xDF> folds to C<"ss"> (5.14.1). |

450 | A few characters in regular expression pattern matches did not | |
451 | match correctly in some circumstances, all involving C</i>. The | |
452 | affected characters are: | |
453 | COMBINING GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI, | |
454 | GREEK CAPITAL LETTER IOTA, | |
455 | GREEK CAPITAL LETTER UPSILON, | |
456 | GREEK PROSGEGRAMMENI, | |
457 | GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA AND OXIA, | |
458 | GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA AND TONOS, | |
459 | GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH DIALYTIKA AND OXIA, | |
460 | GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH DIALYTIKA AND TONOS, | |
461 | LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S, | |
462 | LATIN SMALL LIGATURE LONG S T, | |
463 | and | |
464 | LATIN SMALL LIGATURE ST. | |

468 | Formats: number of edge cases have been fixed with formats and formline; | |
469 | in particular, where the format itself is potentially variable (such as | |
470 | with ties and overloading), and where the format and data differ in their | |
471 | encoding. In both these cases, it used to possible for the output to be | |
472 | corrupted. | |

476 | A bug has been fixed that would cause a "Use of freed value in iteration" | |
477 | error if the next two hash elements that would be iterated over are | |
478 | deleted [RT #85026] (5.14.1). | |

482 | Passing the same constant subroutine to both C<index> and C<formline> no | |

515 | =head1 Reporting Bugs |
516 | ||
517 | If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles | |
34dc2ec0 | 518 | recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl |
44691e6f AB |
519 | bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be |
520 | information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. | |
521 | ||
522 | If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> | |
523 | program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down | |
524 | to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the | |
525 | output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be | |
526 | analysed by the Perl porting team. | |
527 | ||
528 | If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it | |
529 | inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send | |
34dc2ec0 | 530 | it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription |
44691e6f AB |
531 | unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able |
532 | to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help | |
533 | co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all | |
34dc2ec0 DM |
534 | platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for |
535 | security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently | |
