Paul Szabo discovered a number of similar bugs in suidperl, a helper program to run perl scripts with setuid privileges. By exploiting these bugs, an attacker could abuse suidperl to discover information about files (such as testing for their existence and some of their permissions) that should not be accessible to unprivileged users.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 431-2 [e-mail:security@debian.org] http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman April 16th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : perl Vulnerability : information leak Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0618

Paul Szabo discovered a number of similar bugs in suidperl, a helper program to run perl scripts with setuid privileges. By exploiting these bugs, an attacker could abuse suidperl to discover information about files (such as testing for their existence and some of their permissions) that should not be accessible to unprivileged users.

DSA 431-1 incorporated a partial fix for this problem. This advisory includes a more complete fix which corrects some additional cases.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.6.1-8.7.

For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 5.8.3-3.

We recommend that you update your perl package if you have the "perl-suid" package installed.

Upgrade Instructions - --------------------

wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below:

apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
