CVE-2008-2827

Publication date 23 June 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

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, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448 and CVE-2004-0452.
