Fedora Core 3: 2005-600 Critical Update for Perl Race Condition

Paul Szabo discovered another vulnerability in the File::Path::rmtree function of perl, the popular scripting language. When a process is deleting a directory tree, a different user could exploit a race condition to create setuid binaries in this directory tree, provided that he already had write permissions in any subdirectory of that tree. Perl interpreter would cause a segmentation fault when environment changes during the runtime. Code in lib/FindBin contained a regression which caused problems with MRTG software package.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-600 2005-07-22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : perl Version : 5.8.5 Release : 14.FC3 Summary : The Perl programming language. Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts. Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Paul Szabo discovered another vulnerability in the File::Path::rmtree function of perl, the popular scripting language.
