+ <blockquote cite="http://secunia.com/advisories/14531/">
+ <p>Paul Szabo has reported a vulnerability in Perl File::Path::rmtree,
+ which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to
+ gain escalated privileges.</p>
+ <p>The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition in the way
+ File::Path::rmtree handles directory permissions when cleaning up
+ directories. This can be exploited by replacing an existing sub
+ directory in the directory tree with a symbolic link to an arbitrary
+ file.</p>
+ <p>Successful exploitation may allow changing permissions of arbitrary
+ files, if root uses an application using the vulnerable code to delete
+ files in a directory having a world-writable sub directory.</p>
