http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5303
Description:
Previous versions of Perl contained a race condition in the rmtree
function of the File::Path module that allowed local users to create
arbitrary setuid binaries via a symlink attack. This is a regression
related to CVE-2005-0448.
Additionally a double free vulnerability exists that allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a
crafted regular expression containing UTF8 characters.
