Summary
Several security issues were fixed in needrestart and Module::ScanDeps
Details

Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library (libmodule-scandeps-perl) which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-11003)

Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2024-10224)

Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the PYTHONPATH environment variable to spawn a new Python interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48990)

Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly checked the path to the Python interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to win a race condition and execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48991)

Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the RUBYLIB environment variable to spawn a new Ruby interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48992)
