| Vetor | AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Perl versions 5.6.1 through 5.8.4
Description
The issue is related to a race condition in the rmtree function within the File::Path module. This condition allows local users to potentially delete arbitrary files and directories, and possibly read files and directories, by exploiting a symlink attack.
Recommendations
For versions 5.6.1 through 5.8.4, consider applying configuration changes to restrict file and directory access until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the rmtree function in the File::Path module to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
