Title:	Fedora Core 3 FEDORA-2005-600 (perl)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to perl announced via advisory FEDORA-2005-600. 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. Solution: Apply the appropriate updates. This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/ This update can also be installed with the Update Agent you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=FEDORA-2005-600 Risk factor : Low CVSS Score: 1.2
