CVE-2026-64614
Data::Deque::Shared versions before 0.06 for Perl create a world-readable mmap backing file and open it without O_EXCL or O_NOFOLLOW
The segment is created in deque.h with open(path, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666). The mode is 0666, so under the default umask 022 the file is created mode 0644 (world-readable). O_NOFOLLOW is absent, so a symlink planted at the path is followed, and O_EXCL is absent, so the open silently uses a pre-planted file instead of failing.
A "Shared" segment naturally lives in a shared directory such as /tmp or /dev/shm, where any local user can read the IPC payloads stored in the world-readable segment, and a pre-planted file or symlink at the path lets a local attacker win a pre-creation race or redirect the open.

Remediation
Vendor Solution
Upgrade to Data::Deque::Shared 0.06 or later, which creates the backing file mode 0600 (owner-only) with O_EXCL and O_NOFOLLOW.
Vendor Workaround
For deployments that cannot upgrade to 0.06, set a restrictive umask so the backing file is not world-readable and place it in a directory only the owning user can access.
