Detail
| Problem Description: Updated Perl packages that fix security issues and contain several bug fixes are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system administration utilities and Web programming. Paul Szabo discovered a bug in the way Perl's File::Path::rmtree module removed directory trees. If a local user has write permissions to a subdirectory within the tree being removed by File::Path::rmtree, it is possible for them to create setuid binary files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0448 to this issue. This update also addresses the following issues: - -- Perl interpreter caused a segmentation fault when environment changes occurred during runtime. - -- Code in lib/FindBin contained a regression that caused problems with - -- Perl incorrectly declared it provides an FCGI interface where it in fact Users of Perl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 127023 - perl fails "lib/FindBin" test (breaks MRTG) 148848 - Packing fault with perl and FCGI 155888 - perl-suidperl package has an extra .1 release suffix 157694 - CAN-2005-0448 perl File::Path.pm rmtree race condition |

| 14619 | Perl File::Path::rmtree Function Race Condition Privilege Escalation The Perl File::Path:rmtree function contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to change permissions of arbitrary files on system. The issue is due to the way the File::Path::rmtree function handles directory permissions when cleaning up directories. It is possible for a user to use a symlink style attack to manipulate arbitrary files, resulting in a loss of integrity. |
