This looks distinct from some older rmtree() issues, so I'm assigning a new number. - Steve ====================================================== Name: CVE-2008-2827 Status: Candidate URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2827 Reference: MISC:http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487319 Reference: MISC:http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36982 The rmtree function in lib/File/Path.pm in Perl 5.10 does not properly check permissions before performing a chmod, which allows local users to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448 and CVE-2004-0452.
