Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:165

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : perl

Date : August 11, 2008

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

The rmtree function in lib/File/Path.pm in Perl 5.10 does not properly

check permissions before performing a chmod, which allows local users

to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

 

The updated packages have been patched to fix this.
