Summary: CAN-2005-0448 perl File::Path.pm rmtree race condition
Product: Fedora Core
Version: fc4
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: security
Priority: normal
Component: perl
AssignedTo: jvdias(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: mjc(a)redhat.com
QAContact: dkl(a)redhat.com
CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@redhat.com,wtogami(a)redhat.com
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #157695 +++
Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path.pm in Perl before 5.8.4
allows local users to create arbitrary setuid binaries in the tree being
deleted, a different vulnerability than CAN-2004-0452.

attachment 114350 contains the ubuntu patch (it needs some cleaning up)

"Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path.pm in Perl before 5.8.4

5.8.4 means FC3 is unaffected because we have perl-5.8.5? Can someone confirm?

Warren,
I just took a look at the latest perl source, this issue has not been fixed by
upstream. It's proving very hard to do right, which is probably why upstream
hasn't done it yet.

Attachment to fix this security bug is from Ubuntu, but we require help cleaning
it up and testing before issuing a FC3 update. Apparently this is a difficult
problem to fix, and this is our second attempt doing so. =(

Why not just use the debian patch? (attached)

Assigning to self.

Patched in CVS. Testing requested - if anyone has an exploit or something like
that, please try out. The testsuite passes exactly like before patching, but
regression testing is welcome as well.

Fixed in FC3 update perl-5.8.5-14.FC3

[Bug 176154] New: Possible memory corruption: ioctl overflowed 3rd argument
by Red Hat Bugzilla

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176154
Summary: Possible memory corruption: ioctl overflowed 3rd
argument
Product: Fedora Core
Version: fc4
Platform: i386
URL: http://www.livejournal.com/users/gkra/23220.html
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: normal
Component: perl
AssignedTo: jvdias(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: gkra(a)ucsd.edu
QAContact: dkl(a)redhat.com
CC: fedora-perl-devel-list(a)redhat.com
>From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050921 Red Hat/1.0.7-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.7
Description of problem:
When using the CDDB_get perl module to extract the CD ID from the compact disc in a CD or DVD drive (IDE, SCSI or FireWire), I get the error "Possible memory corruption: ioctl overflowed 3rd argument at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/CDDB_get.pm line 135". This is in a perl script I wrote to rip & tag MP3s from my CD collection. I installed the CDDB_get module from CPAN via the cpan2rpm package, which was itself installed via yum from the default Fedora Core 4 repositories. This operation worked without error on the non-updated FC4 (fresh install). I realized I hadn't done an update in quite some time, and after using "up2date --update" and restarting the system to boot into the new kernel, this error presented itself.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.6-22
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC4 and all latest updates
2. Install cpan2rpm via up2date or yum
3. Install CDDB_get using cpan2rpm
4. Boot system into init level 3 (to keep X & desktop environs from interfering)
5. Insert an audio CD into the CD drive.
6. Download my cddbtest.pl script (http://www.unnerving.org/projects/bugreports/fc4_perl_ioctl/cddbtest.pl)
Actual Results: script gives this error message:
Possible memory corruption: ioctl overflowed 3rd argument at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/CDDB_get.pm line 135.
Expected Results: Successful read of the CD, followed by output of CDDB info for the inserted audio CD.
Additional info:

Remove perl-RPM2 from FC
by Warren Togami
Can we remove perl-RPM2 from FC? AFAICT nothing depends on it and I
haven't seen anyone actually rely on it.
Any objections from the Fedora Perl Devel team?
