 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2005:079
 Date:                   April 28th, 2005

 Problem Description:

 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.

Comment 1 Michael Schröder 2005-04-29 14:19:40 UTC
As with the old bug, I don't think it's worth a security update for old 
versions. We should fix it for SL10/SLES10, though. 
Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2005-04-29 14:22:47 UTC
ok
