An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-14741 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OALDERS HTTP::Date. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14741/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14741/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-14741","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14741/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-14741","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-14741","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-14741","ECHO-2e88-4656-82f2","GHSA-mcqf-9rr5-v7rw","MGASA-2026-0362","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-14741","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-14741","SUSE-SU-2026:22859-1","SUSE-SU-2026:3334-1","SUSE-SU-2026:3454-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-14741","USN-8599-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:11350-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:21427-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl HTTP::Date library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause CPU exhaustion and denial of service by sending crafted HTTP date headers to applications using the vulnerable Perl library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1333","name":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity"}],"description":"HTTP::Date versions before 6.08 for Perl allow CPU exhaustion via polynomial regex backtracking in parse_date.\n\nparse_date() matches the date string against a chain of alternative regexes, and str2time() delegates to it. Several of these patterns place unbounded quantifiers next to each other before a trailing `\\s*$` anchor. A valid date prefix followed by a long interior run of digits, letters, or whitespace and a single trailing byte that defeats the final match forces the engine to repartition the run, giving polynomial (about quadratic) backtracking. A header value of a few tens of kilobytes runs for tens of seconds of CPU.\n\nHTTP::Date parses timestamps such as HTTP `Date`, `Expires`, and `Last-Modified` headers, which commonly originate from untrusted sources. Any caller that passes an untrusted date header to str2time() or parse_date() can be driven to consume unbounded CPU, a denial of service.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15 SP7","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 16.0","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server LTSS Extended Security 12 SP5","SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 16.0","openSUSE:Leap 16.0","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"HTTP::Date versions before 6.08 for Perl allow CPU exhaustion via polynomial regex backtracking in parse_date","id":"CVE-2026-14741","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"langchain-ai langgraph Task Result Cache _cache.py _freeze weak hash","id":"CVE-2026-14742"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15 SP7","fixed":["6.02-150000.3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"perl-HTTP-Date","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/perl-HTTP-Date\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Module%20for%20Basesystem%2015%20SP7","source":"SUSE-SU-2026:3454-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 16.0","fixed":["6.06-160000.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"perl-HTTP-Date","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/perl-HTTP-Date\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%2016.0","source":"SUSE-SU-2026:22859-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server LTSS Extended Security 12 SP5","fixed":["6.02-9.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"perl-HTTP-Date","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/perl-HTTP-Date\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20LTSS%20Extended%20Security%2012%20SP5","source":"SUSE-SU-2026:3334-1"},{"ecosystem":"SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 16.0","fixed":["6.06-160000.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"perl-HTTP-Date","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/perl-HTTP-Date\u0026distro=SUSE%20Linux%20Enterprise%20Server%20for%20SAP%20applications%2016.0","source":"SUSE-SU-2026:22859-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Leap 16.0","fixed":["6.06-160000.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"perl-HTTP-Date","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/perl-HTTP-Date\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Leap%2016.0","source":"openSUSE-SU-2026:21427-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["6.80.0-1.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"perl-HTTP-Date","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/perl-HTTP-Date\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2026:11350-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"DBI versions before 1.650 for Perl read one byte out-of-bounds in preparse when deleting an initial SQL comment","id":"CVE-2026-14740"},"products":["HTTP::Date"],"published":"2026-07-17","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"SUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-12","vendors":["OALDERS"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause CPU exhaustion and denial of service by sending crafted HTTP date headers to applications using the vulnerable Perl library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14741/"}
