Temat: Re: [exim-dev] [Bug 1864] New: CVE-2016-1238: Important unsafe module load path flaw

This is about a perl security issue that was not accepted directly into
exim in July/August 2016.

Patch 915 does not apply cleanly to exim 4.89_RC3
(which adds "use warnings;" in the same place the change made by 915).
A suitable alternative is:

--- src/eximstats.src.CVE-2016-1238     2017-02-10 02:50:40.000000000 +0000
+++ src/eximstats.src   2017-02-10 12:54:28.235197704 +0000

=cut

+BEGIN { pop @INC if $INC[-1] eq '.' }
+
use warnings;
use integer;
use strict;
