Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

perl-modules

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 5.8.4-2ubuntu0.4. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Paul Szabo discovered another vulnerability in the rmtree() function in File::Path.pm. While a process running as root (or another user) was busy 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.

Id Description
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.
