Package        : libdbi-perl
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-0077

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit Project
discovered that the DBI library, the Perl5 database interface, creates
a tmporary PID file in an insecure manner.  This can be exploited by a
malicious user to overwrite arbitrary files owned by the person
executing the parts of the library.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.21-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.46-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your libdbi-perl package.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
