## What is CVE-2026-64614?

CVE-2026-64614 is a low-severity vulnerability in EGOR Data::Deque::Shared, published on 21 Jul 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Data::Deque::Shared versions before 0.06 for Perl create a world-readable mmap backing file and open it without O_EXCL or O_NOFOLLOW.

The segment is created in deque.h with open(path, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666). The mode is 0666, so under the default umask 022 the file is created mode 0644 (world-readable). O_NOFOLLOW is absent, so a symlink planted at the path is followed, and O_EXCL is absent, so the open silently uses a pre-planted file instead of failing.

A "Shared" segment naturally lives in a shared directory such as /tmp or /dev/shm, where any local user can read the IPC payloads stored in the world-readable segment, and a pre-planted file or symlink at the path lets a local attacker win a pre-creation race or redirect the open.

Weakness: CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource), CWE-59 (Improper Link Resolution Before File Access)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-64614 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-64614 is a low-severity vulnerability in EGOR Data::Deque::Shared, published on 21 Jul 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-64614 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: EGOR Data::Deque::Shared. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
