CVE-2026-60074-r1.patch.patch Date::Manip: restrict numeric date fields to ASCII digits
CVE-2026-60074. The parse regexes capture year, month and day with the
\d shorthand, which on a character string matches the whole Unicode
decimal digit property \p{Nd} and not just [0-9].
Date::Manip::Base::check validates the captured fields with numeric
comparisons alone, and _parse_check stores the numified fields, so a
field whose leading characters are ASCII digits numifies to an in-range
prefix and satisfies every test. With U+0664 ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT FOUR as
the final character of the year, ParseDate("202\x{664}-03-08") returns
0202030800:00:00; a non-ASCII digit in the month or day field shifts
those fields the same way ("2026-1\x{662}-08" returns January,
"2026-03-1\x{665}" returns the 1st), and one in a fractional minute
field drops the fraction.

[0-9] rather than \d, so a field holding a non-ASCII digit fails to
match and the string does not parse. Both validators are hardened as
well, since Date::Manip::Date's set() passes caller supplied values
straight to them: check() requires the year, month and day to be ASCII
digit strings before range testing them, and check_time() uses [0-9] in
its format test.

Every date string in a 42 entry corpus of legitimate formats (ISO 8601
basic and extended, ordinal and week dates, m/d/y, RFC 2822 with a
numeric offset, ctime, named months and zones, "1st Sunday in March
2026", "in 3 days", "noon", 24:00 times, fractional hours and minutes)
parses to the same value before and after.

CVE-2026-60075-r1.patch.patch Date::Manip: cap the length of a string handed to the parsers
CVE-2026-60075. _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 retries the match at every position of an
interior whitespace run: at each start position the leading \s+ consumes
the rest of the run greedily, the time alternation fails because the run
holds no digits, and the engine backtracks a space at a time across the
run before advancing the start position. The cost is quadratic in the
length of the run, and no time need be present in the string. On the
machine this patch was tested on, parsing "x" . (" " x 2000) . "x" took
1.7 seconds of CPU and "x" . (" " x 16000) . "x" took 107 seconds,
rising about fourfold for each doubling of the run.

parse_time entries, before any regex runs, which is the shape of the fix
libwww-perl shipped in HTTP::Date 6.08 for the same weakness class.
Legitimate date strings are well under 100 characters, and a 42 entry
corpus of legitimate formats parses to the same value before and after.
