When that space reaches zero, the line-splitting substitution matches the empty string, and the loop consumes no input while appending the margin padding on every pass.\n\nFormatting an attacker-supplied POD document never returns, and the output grows until memory is exhausted.","cvssScore":7.5,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","cwes":["CWE-835"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/rra/podlators/commit/70510174f69eb54aa6d617bde4e1402cd9b7c61f.patch","tags":[]},{"url":"https://metacpan.org/release/RRA/podlators-v6.1.0/source/lib/Pod/Text.pm#L245-261","tags":[]},{"url":"https://metacpan.org/release/RRA/podlators-v6.1.1/changes","tags":[]},{"url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/09/19/6","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/rra/podlators/commit/70510174f69eb54aa6d617bde4e1402cd9b7c61f.patch","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
