CVE-2017-6512 (2017-05-02)

Race condition in the rmtree and remove_tree functions allows attackers to set the mode on arbitrary files via vectors involving directory-permission loosening logic.

CVE-2008-2827 (2008-06-23)

The rmtree function in lib/File/Path.pm in Perl 5.10 does not properly check permissions before performing a chmod, which allows local users to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448 and CVE-2004-0452.

Changes for version 2.05 - 2008-05-07

  • better diagnosics and less panicking when removing an ancestor path. Reported by Alan Ferrency and patch suggested by Michael Schilli (#31721).
  • fix typo spotted by Brendan O'Dea (#35623).
