Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: perl The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 5.8.4-2ubuntu0.3. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Two exploitable vulnerabilities involving setuid-enabled perl scripts have been discovered. The package "perl-suid" provides a wrapper around perl which allows to use setuid-root perl scripts, i.e. user-callable Perl scripts which have full root privileges. Previous versions allowed users to overwrite arbitrary files by setting the PERLIO_DEBUG environment variable and calling an arbitrary setuid-root perl script. The file that PERLIO_DEBUG points to was then overwritten by Perl debug messages. This did not allow precise control over the file content, but could destroy important data. PERLIO_DEBUG is now ignored for setuid scripts. (CAN-2005-0155) In addition, calling a setuid-root perl script with a very long path caused a buffer overflow if PERLIO_DEBUG was set. This buffer overflow could be exploited to execute arbitrary files with full root privileges. (CAN-2005-0156) |

| Title: | Race condition in the rmtree function in the File::Path module in Perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.4 sets read/write permissions for the world, which allows local users to delete arbitrary files and directories, and possibly read files and directories, via a symlink attack. | ||
| Description: | The PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sperl), allows local users to create arbitrary files via the PERLIO_DEBUG variable. | ||
