Just noticed this today on ruby's web site: http://preview.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2012/10/12/poisoned-NUL-byte-vulnerabi lity/ The fix is located here: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=37163 I don't see a CVE name associated with the announcement or commit, so I don't believe one has been assigned.
Technically, this would also apply to Perl (at least with 5.12.3). Or am I missing the point? $ perl -we 'open $fh, "+>", "perl\0foo"; print $fh "x"x2; close $fh' $ ls perl perl If the third parameter is double-quoted. I wouldn't call it a vulnerability though. Just wanted to note it.
