Wednesday 23rd September 2026

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-MIME-tools to 5.519 in F-45 and Rawhide:

  • Some (buggy) software creates base64-encoded parts as a concatenation of multiple base64-encoded streams, and some client software decodes each stream separately and concatenates the results; duplicate this behaviour in MIME::tools to prevent it from being used as a mechanism to sneak dangerous content past a security scanner

• Updated perl-Taint-Util (0.08), perl-Test-CPAN-Meta (0.25), perl-Test-CPAN-Meta-JSON (0.16), perl-Test-CPAN-Meta-YAML (0.25), perl-Test-Exception (0.43), perl-Test-HasVersion (0.014), perl-Test-Modern (0.013), perl-Test-RequiresInternet (0.05), perl-Test-Signature (1.11), perl-Test-TinyMocker (0.05), perl-Test-XML (0.08) and perl-Test-YAML-Meta (0.22) in Rawhide to use the %{make_build} and %{make_install} macros during the build

Monday 21st September 2026

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Devel-CallParser to 0.005 in F-45 and Rawhide:

  • Restore the pad name list as well as the pad when a keyword is declined on ithreads perls: the first "my" of a block opened right after a declined keyword (if, while, print, any of them) was never closed at the block's end and masked an outer lexical of the same name for the rest of the scope; loading the module broke "my" scoping in everything compiled after it (t/blockscope.t)

  • This release is based on version 2026d of the Olson database
  • Contemporary changes for Canada's Northwest Territories
