Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1678-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'perl' package(s) announced via the DSA-1678-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'perl' package(s) announced via the DSA-1678-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Paul Szabo rediscovered a vulnerability in the File::Path::rmtree function of Perl. It was possible to exploit a race condition to create setuid binaries in a directory tree or remove arbitrary files when a process is deleting this tree. This issue was originally known as CVE-2005-0448 and CVE-2004-0452, which were addressed by DSA-696-1 and DSA-620-1. Unfortunately, they were reintroduced later. For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.8.8-7etch5. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 5.10.0-18 and will migrate to the testing distribution (lenny) shortly. We recommend that you upgrade your perl packages. Affected Software/OS: 'perl' package(s) on Debian 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
