Config-IniFiles 2.39
Security Advisories
CVE-2012-2451
The Config::IniFiles module before 2.71 for Perl creates temporary files with predictable names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. NOTE: it has been reported that this might only be exploitable by writing in the same directory as the .ini file. If this is the case, then this issue might not cross privilege boundaries.

Kwalitee Issues
- meta_yml_conforms_to_known_spec
-
Take a look at the META.yml Spec at https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::History::Meta_1_4 (for version 1.4) or https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::Spec (for version 2), and change your META.yml accordingly.
Error: Expected a map structure from string or file. (requires) [Validation: 1.0]
- has_changelog
-
Add a Changelog (best named 'Changes') to the distribution. It should list at least major changes implemented in newer versions.
- buildtool_not_executable
-
Change the permissions of Build.PL/Makefile.PL to not-executable.
- has_human_readable_license
-
Add a section called "LICENSE" to the documentation, or add a file named LICENSE to the distribution.
- has_license_in_source_file
-
Add =head1 LICENSE and the text of the license to the main module in your code.
- no_pod_errors
-
Remove the POD errors. You can check for POD errors automatically by including Test::Pod to your test suite.
Error: Config-IniFiles-2.39/IniFiles.pm -- Around line 2199: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in 'Röpke,'. Assuming CP1252
- meta_yml_declares_perl_version
-
If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs.
- has_meta_json
-
Add a META.json to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.
- meta_yml_has_license
-
Define the license if you are using in Build.PL. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade to ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.31.
- has_known_license_in_source_file
-
Add =head1 LICENSE and/or the proper text of the well-known license to the main module in your code.
- use_warnings
-
Add 'use warnings' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens.
Error: Config::IniFiles
- no_unauthorized_packages
-
Ask the owner of the distribution (the one who released it first, or the one who is designated in x_authority) to give you a (co-)maintainer's permission.
Error:
- Config::IniFiles
- Config::IniFiles::_section
- meta_yml_has_provides
-
Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build or Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaProvides do this automatically for you.
- meta_yml_has_repository_resource
-
Add a 'repository' resource to the META.yml via 'meta_add' accessor (for Module::Build) or META_ADD parameter (for ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
- has_separate_license_file
-
This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
