CVE-2007-4769 (2008-01-09)

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (backend crash) via an out-of-bounds backref number.

CVE-2018-25032 (2022-03-25)

zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.

CVE-2011-3045 (2012-03-22)

Integer signedness error in the png_inflate function in pngrutil.c in libpng before 1.4.10beta01, as used in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.83 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3026.

CVE-2016-10087 (2017-01-30)

The png_set_text_2 function in libpng 0.71 before 1.0.67, 1.2.x before 1.2.57, 1.4.x before 1.4.20, 1.5.x before 1.5.28, and 1.6.x before 1.6.27 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a NULL pointer dereference vectors involving loading a text chunk into a png structure, removing the text, and then adding another text chunk to the structure.

CVE-2007-4772 (2008-01-09)

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted regular expression.

CVE-2007-6067 (2008-01-09)

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted "complex" regular expression with doubly-nested states.

CVE-2017-12652 (2019-07-10)

libpng before 1.6.32 does not properly check the length of chunks against the user limit.

NAME

Tk::Table - Scrollable 2 dimensional table of Tk widgets

SYNOPSIS

use Tk::Table;

$table = $parent->Table(-rows => number,
                        -columns => number,
                        -scrollbars => anchor,
                        -fixedrows => number,
                        -fixedcolumns => number,
                        -takefocus => boolean);

$widget = $table->Button(...);

$old = $table->put($row,$col,$widget);
$old = $table->put($row,$col,"Text");  # simple Label
$widget = $table->get($row,$col);

$cols = $table->totalColumns;
$rows = $table->totalRows;

$table->see($widget);
$table->see($row,$col);

($row,$col) = $table->Posn($widget);

DESCRIPTION

Tk::Table is an all-perl widget/geometry manager which allows a two dimensional table of arbitary perl/Tk widgets to be displayed.

Entries in the Table are simply ordinary perl/Tk widgets. They should be created with the Table as their parent. Widgets are positioned in the table using:

$table->put($row,$col,$widget)

If $widget is not a reference it is treated as a string, and a Lable widget is created with the string as its text.

All the widgets in each column are set to the same width - the requested width of the widest widget in the column. Likewise, all the widgets in each row are set to the same height - the requested height of the tallest widget in the column.

A number of rows and/or columns can be marked as 'fixed' - and so can serve as 'headings' for the remainder the rows which are scrollable.

The requested size of the table as a whole is such that the number of rows specified by -rows (default 10), and number of columns specified by -columns (default 10) can be displayed.

If the Table is told it can take the keyboard focus then cursor and scroll keys scroll the displayed widgets.

-scrollbars. By default, scrollbars will be added nw. To disable scrollbars, set -scrollbars to an empty string:

$table = $parent->Table(-scrollbars => '', ...);

The table can be emptied using

$table->clear

the widgets which were in the table are destroyed.

The Tk::Table widget is derived from a Tk::Frame, so inherits all its configure options.

The default focus traversal is giving the focus only to the table widget as a whole. To enable focus traversal into table cells (e.g. if there are embedded entry widgets), then the option -takefocus has to be set to 0.

BUGS / Snags / Possible enhancements

  • Very large Tables consume a lot of X windows.

  • No equivalent of pack's -anchor/-pad etc. options
