John Lightsey discovered that Module::Signature incorrectly handled files that were not listed in the SIGNATURE file. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code when tests were run. (CVE-2015-3407)

John Lightsey discovered that Module::Signature incorrectly handled embedded shell commands in the SIGNATURE file. A remote attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code during signature verification. (CVE-2015-3408)

John Lightsey discovered that Module::Signature incorrectly handled module loading. A remote attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code during signature verification. (CVE-2015-3409)
