+Subject: ensure File::Spec::canonpath() preserves taint
+
+Previously the unix specific XS implementation of canonpath() would
+return an untainted path when supplied a tainted path.
+
+For the empty string case, newSVpvs() already sets taint as needed on
+its result.
+
+This issue was assigned CVE-2015-8607.
+
+Bug: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126862
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/810719
+Origin: upstream
+Patch-Name: fixes/CVE-2015-8607_file_spec_taint_fix.diff
