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.
