 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:165
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : perl
 Date    : August 11, 2008
 Affected: 2008.1
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 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.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to fix this.
