Name : perl Product : Fedora 9 Version : 5.10.0 Release : 27.fc9 URL : http://www.perl.org/ Summary : The Perl programming language Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts. Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: CVE-2008-2827 perl: insecure use of chmod in rmtree -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jun 24 2008 Marcela Maslanova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4:5.10.0-27 - CVE-2008-2827 perl: insecure use of chmod in rmtree * Thu Jun 12 2008 Stepan Kasal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4:5.10.0-26 - make config parameter list consistent for 32bit and 64bit platforms, add config option -Dinc_version_list=none (#448735) - use perl_archname consistently - set siteprefix to prefix/local * Wed Jun 11 2008 Marcela Maslanova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4:5.10.0-25 - 447371 wrong access permission rt49003 * Mon May 26 2008 Marcela Maslanova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4:5.10.0-24 - 448392 upstream fix for assertion * Thu May 22 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4:5.10.0-23 - sparc64 breaks with the rpath hack patch applied * Mon May 19 2008 Marcela Maslanova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4:5.10.0-22 - 447142 upgrade CGI to 3.37 * Sat May 17 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4:5.10.0-21 - sparc64 fails two tests under mysterious circumstances. we need to get the rest of the tree moving, so we temporarily disable the tests on that arch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #452635 - CVE-2008-2827 perl: insecure use of chmod in rmtree https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452635 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
