Description Mark J. Cox 2004-02-04 16:33:10 UTC

CAN-2003-0618 was reported 2003Jul29 to Debian. You can test for the
existance of files even if you don't have permission to do so by using
the suidperl command.

        $ su
        # mkdir ~root/delme; chmod 700 ~root/delme;touch ~root/delme/1
        # exit
        $ suidperl ~root/delme/1
        Script is not setuid/setgid in suidperl
        $ suidperl ~root/delme/2
        Can't open perl script "/root/delme/2": No such file ...

Debian released an errata for this issue in Feb 2004.

Comment 1 Mark J. Cox 2004-02-09 15:40:57 UTC

Actually this doesn't affect RHEL3 because the setuid perl package was
not shipped.

Comment 2 Josh Bressers 2005-05-04 22:04:20 UTC

I did some verification work on this one.  This issue does affect RHEL3.  We may
not have shipped perl-suidperl in the past, we do now.

Comment 3 Jason Vas Dias 2006-04-22 01:24:55 UTC

fixed with perl-5.6.1-38.EL2_1

Comment 4 Robin Norwood 2006-10-01 23:33:54 UTC

Comment 6 Tomas Hoger 2009-08-28 14:16:28 UTC
