+perl5263delta - what is new for perl v5.26.3
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.26.2 release and the 5.26.3

+=head2 [CVE-2018-12015] Directory traversal in module Archive::Tar
+
+By default, L<Archive::Tar> doesn't allow extracting files outside the current
+working directory.  However, this secure extraction mode could be bypassed by
+putting a symlink and a regular file with the same name into the tar file.

+=head2 [CVE-2018-18311] Integer overflow leading to buffer overflow and segmentation fault
+
+Integer arithmetic in C<Perl_my_setenv()> could wrap when the combined length
+of the environment variable name and value exceeded around 0x7fffffff.  This
+could lead to writing beyond the end of an allocated buffer with attacker
+supplied data.

+=head1 Acknowledgements
+
+Perl 5.26.3 represents approximately 8 months of development since Perl 5.26.2
+and contains approximately 4,500 lines of changes across 51 files from 15
+authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 770 lines of changes to 10 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+
+Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant community
+of users and developers.  The following people are known to have contributed
+the improvements that became Perl 5.26.3:
+
+Aaron Crane, Abigail, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, David
+Mitchell, H.Merijn Brand, James E Keenan, John SJ Anderson, Karen Etheridge,
+Karl Williamson, Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Todd Rinaldo, Tony Cook, Yves Orton.
+
+The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated
+from version control history.  In particular, it does not include the names of
+the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
+tracker.
+
+Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
+included in Perl's core.  We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
+helping Perl to flourish.
+
+For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see
+the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.
+
+=head1 Reporting Bugs
+
+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database
+at L<https://rt.perl.org/> .  There may also be information at
+L<http://www.perl.org/> , the Perl Home Page.
+
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> program
+included with your release.  Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but
+sufficient test case.  Your bug report, along with the output of C<perl -V>,
+will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team.
+
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it
+inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then see
+L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION>
+for details of how to report the issue.
+
+=head1 Give Thanks
+
+If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5,
+you can do so by running the C<perlthanks> program:
+
+    perlthanks
+
+This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks.
