"Several potential buffer overflows in the ePerl package have been
found by Fumitoshi Ukai and Denis Barbier. When eperl is installed
setuid root, it can switch to the UID/GID of the script's owner.
Although Linux-Mandrake does not ship the program setuid root, this is
a useful feature which some users may have activated locally on their
own. There is also the potential for a remote vulnerability as well."
