Descriptions
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.
La función rmtree en lib/File/Path.pm de Perl 5.10 no comprueba correctamente los permisos antes de realizar chmod, lo que permite a usuarios locales modificar los permisos de archivos de su elección mediante un ataque de enlaces simbólicos, una vulnerabilidad distinta a CVE-2005-0448 y CVE-2004-0452.
