CVE-2026-57081

CVE-2026-57081 affects Net::BitTorrent for Perl up to version 2.0.1. The root cause is unbounded recursion in the bdecode decoder: each nested list/dictionary level causes a recursive call that copies the remaining input buffer, producing O(N^2) memory growth for deeply nested inputs. In practice...
