A flaw was reported [1] in how perl's File::Temp module created temporary files and directories. File::Temp would create a file or directory without checking first whether or not the directory it was creating the file in, or a parent directory, was owned by root or the calling user in the case of symlinks or hardlinks. A malicious local attacker could use this to direct where temporary files were being created.
The upstream report has some discussion around how to fix the flaw, but does not have a patch.
