Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-620-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'perl' package(s) announced via the DSA-620-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'perl' package(s) announced via the DSA-620-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Perl, the popular scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CAN-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. CAN-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. Affected Software/OS: 'perl' package(s) on Debian 3.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
