Javier FernÃ¡ndez-Sanguino PeÃ±a from the Debian Security Audit Project
discovered that the DBI library, the Perl5 database interface, creates
a tmporary file in an insecure manner.  This can be exploited by a
malicious user to overwrite arbitrary files owned by the person
executing the program.

This will be disclosed on Tuesday the 25th.
