Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2005:674 0 qe-ready SHIPPED_LIVE Low: perl security update 2005-10-05 04:00:00 UTC

Description Josh Bressers 2005-05-13 20:38:29 UTC 
Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path.pm in Perl before 5.8.4
allows local users to create arbitrary setuid binaries in the tree being
deleted, a different vulnerability than CAN-2004-0452.
