2016-03-06 19:17:48.154460
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl-CBOR-XS
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.4
Release : 2.el6
URL :
http://search.cpan.org/dist/CBOR-XS/
Summary : Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)
Description :
This module converts Perl data structures to the Concise Binary Object
Representation (CBOR) and vice versa. CBOR is a fast binary serialization
format that aims to use an (almost) superset of the JSON data model, i.e.
when you can represent something useful in JSON, you should be able to
represent it in CBOR.

Update Information:
1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during
decoding did not check remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by
fuzzing. This can potentially leak information in the error message or crash the
process. - use C style { 0 } struct initializer. - upgrade libecb. 1.3 Mon
Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged
values (testcase by Mons Anderson). - slightly speed up encoding of plain
(nonmagical) arrays. - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit
architectures have 64 bit integer support. - upgrade libecb.
