Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52125
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:079 (perl)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to perl
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:079.

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.

The provided packages have been patched to resolve this problem.

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
