[CVE-2024-56406] Heap buffer overflow vulnerability with tr//

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in Perl.

When there are non-ASCII bytes in the left-hand-side of the C<tr> operator,
C<S_do_trans_invmap()> can overflow the destination pointer C<d>.

  $ perl -e '$_ = "\x{FF}" x 1000000; tr/\xFF/\x{100}/;'
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It is believed that this vulnerability can enable Denial of Service or
Arbitrary Code Execution attacks on platforms that lack sufficient defenses.

Discovered by: Nathan Mills.

<Module::CoreList> has been upgraded from version 5.20250118_40 to \ 
5.20250413_40.

Log message:
*: remove MirBSD support

Log message:
*: remove references to GNU/kFreeBSD

Log message:
*: Assume that the user has a C99-capable compiler.

A compiler that supports -std=c99 is required for
bootstrap, so it doesn't make sense to specify a c99
compiler everywhere in package makefiles.

At any rate, I would bet my entire life's savings that
this is a small fraction of the total number of packages
requiring c99.

Note that compilers that default to c89 but support c99
are still supported...

Documentation
  Changes to Existing Documentation
    We have attempted to update the documentation to reflect the changes
    listed in this document. If you find any we have missed, open an issue
    at <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>.

Configuration and Compilation
    *   Fixed compilation on platforms (e.g. "Gentoo Prefix") with only a C
        locale. [GH #22569 <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22569>] Bug
        first reported downstream at bugs.gentoo.org/939014
        <https://bugs.gentoo.org/939014>.

    *   Fixed compilation error on some systems due to a typo in a printf()
        format. [GH #22793 <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22793>]

Testing
    Tests were added and changed to reflect the other additions and changes
    in this release.

Selected Bug Fixes
    *   Starting in Perl 5.39.8, ""strftime"" in POSIX would \ 
crash or
        produce odd errors (such as "Out of memory in
        perl:util:safesysmalloc") when given a format string that wasn't
        actually a string, but a number, "undef", or an object (even one
        with overloaded string conversion).

        Now "strftime" stringifies its first argument, as before. [GH \ 
#22498
        <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22498>]

    *   Builds with "-msse" and quadmath on 32-bit x86 systems would crash
        with a misaligned access early in the build. [GH #22577
        <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22577>]

    *   Using "goto" to tail call, or using the call_sv() and related APIs
        to call, any of trim(), refaddr(), reftype(), ceil(), floor() or
        stringify() in the "builtin::" package would crash or assert due to
        a "TARG" handling bug. [GH #22542
        <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22542>]

    *   Fixed an issue where utf8n_to_uvchr() failed to correctly identify
        certain invalid UTF-8 sequences as invalid. Specifically, sequences
        that start with continuation bytes or unassigned bytes could cause
        unexpected behaviour or a panic. This fix ensures that such invalid
        sequences are now properly detected and handled. This correction
        also resolves related issues in modules that handle UTF-8
        processing, such as Encode.

    *   Fixed a double free error or possible memory leak when failing to
        compile certain regexps. [GH #21661
        <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/21661>]
