Echo: perl: security update to 5.40.1-6+e18

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459206

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - HTTP::Tiny versions before 0.093 for Perl do not validate CRLF in HTTP request lines or control field
 header values. The unvalidated inputs are the method and URI in the request line, the URL host that
 becomes the `Host:` header, and HTTP/1.1 control data field values. An attacker who controls one of these
 inputs, for example a user supplied URL passed to a webhook or URL fetch endpoint, can inject additional
 headers and smuggle requests to the upstream server. (CVE-2026-7010)

Solution

Update the perl library and its related packages to version 5.40.1-6+e18 or later.
