Check for the version of the perl package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:079 (perl). Paul Szabo discovered another vulnerability in the rmtree() function in File::Path.pm. While a process running as root (or another user) was busy deleting a directory tree, a different user could exploit a race condition to create setuid binaries in this directory tree, provided that he already had write permissions in any subdirectory of that tree. The provided packages have been patched to resolve this problem.
