The attach-time validator reqrep_validate_header checks the header scalars and region layout against the file size, but does not validate the array contents it then trusts. reqrep_recv_locked does memcpy(copy_buf, req_arena + arena_off, len) with arena_off and len read raw from the mmap'd segment and never bounded against the arena capacity (req_arena_cap).
A local peer that can write the backing file can leave the header valid while poisoning a request slot's offset and length, so receiving the request copies a file-controlled offset and length out of the arena, reading adjacent memory or crashing the process.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Vendor Solution
Upgrade to Data::ReqRep::Shared 0.05 or later, which bounds the arena offset and length against the arena capacity before the copy.
Vendor Workaround
For deployments that cannot upgrade to 0.05, place the backing file in a directory writable only by the owning user, so a local peer cannot tamper with the segment contents the read path trusts.

| Description | Data::ReqRep::Shared versions before 0.05 for Perl allow an out-of-bounds read via an unvalidated arena offset and length in reqrep_recv_locked. The attach-time validator reqrep_validate_header checks the header scalars and region layout against the file size, but does not validate the array contents it then trusts. reqrep_recv_locked does memcpy(copy_buf, req_arena + arena_off, len) with arena_off and len read raw from the mmap'd segment and never bounded against the arena capacity (req_arena_cap).
