NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2006-0605.NASL description Updated Perl packages that fix security a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system administration utilities and Web programming. Kevin Finisterre discovered a flaw in sperl, the Perl setuid wrapper, which can cause debugging information to be logged to arbitrary files. By setting an environment variable, a local user could cause sperl to create, as root, files with arbitrary filenames, or append the debugging information to existing files. (CVE-2005-0155) A fix for this issue was first included in the update RHSA-2005:103 released in February 2005. However the patch to correct this issue was dropped from the update RHSA-2005:674 made in October 2005. This regression has been assigned CVE-2006-3813. Users of Perl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 22278 published 2006-08-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2006-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/22278 title CentOS 4 : perl (CESA-2006:0605) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2006:0605 and # CentOS Errata and Security Advisory 2006:0605 respectively. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(22278); script_version("1.16"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/10/25 13:36:03"); script_cve_id("CVE-2005-0155", "CVE-2006-3813"); script_bugtraq_id(12426); script_xref(name:"RHSA", value:"2006:0605"); script_name(english:"CentOS 4 : perl (CESA-2006:0605)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Updated Perl packages that fix security a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
