CVE-2026-60075: Date::Manip versions through 7.00 for Perl allow CPU exhaustion via quadratic backtracking in the unanchored t

Routine
HIGH 7.5REMOTE

CVE-2026-60075 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Date::Manip versions through 7.00 for Perl allow CPU exhaustion via quadratic backtracking in the unanchored time substitution in _parse_time. _parse_time removes a time from anywhere in the string with the unanchored substitution `s/$timerx/ /`, where $timerx is an auto-generated alternation of time patterns reached through a leading `(?:$atrx|^|\s+)`. The engine therefore retries the match at every position of an interior whitespace run: at ea

Why this priority

  • High severity
  • Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.
