Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Perl, the popular scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2004-0452 Jeroen van Wolffelaar discovered that the rmtree() function in the File::Path module removes directory trees in an insecure manner which could lead to the removal of arbitrary files and directories through a symlink attack. CVE-2004-0976 Trustix developers discovered several insecure uses of temporary files in many modules which allow a local attacker to overwrite files via a symlink attack. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 5.6.1-8.8. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 5.8.4-5. We recommend that you upgrade your perl packages.
