Ubuntu Security Notice 700-1
Posted Dec 30, 2008
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-700-1 - Jonathan Smith discovered that the Archive::Tar Perl module did not correctly handle symlinks when extracting archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted tar file, a remote attacker could over-write arbitrary files. Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry discovered that Perl did not correctly handle certain utf8 characters in regular expressions. If a user or automated system were tricked into using a specially crafted expression, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service. Ubuntu 8.10 was not affected by this issue. A race condition was discovered in the File::Path Perl module's rmtree function. If a local attacker successfully raced another user's call of rmtree, they could create arbitrary setuid binaries. Ubuntu 6.06 and 8.10 were not affected by this issue. A race condition was discovered in the File::Path Perl module's rmtree function. If a local attacker successfully raced another user's call of rmtree, they could delete arbitrary files. Ubuntu 6.06 was not affected by this issue.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 1556-2
Posted Apr 28, 2008
Authored by Debian | Site debian.org

Debian Security Advisory 1556-2 - An editorial mistake resulted in DSA-1556-1 not correctly applying the required change, making it ineffective. This DSA has been reissued as DSA-1556-2. It has been discovered that the Perl interpreter may encounter a buffer overflow condition when compiling certain regular expressions containing Unicode characters. This also happens if the offending characters are contained in a variable reference protected by the \Q...\E quoting construct. When encountering this condition, the Perl interpreter typically crashes, but arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.
