+  <title>Perl: Race condition vulnerability</title>
+  <synopsis>A vulnerability in module File::Path for Perl allows local
+    attackers to set arbitrary mode values on arbitrary files bypassing

+  <background>
+    <p>File::Path module provides a convenient way to create directories of
+      arbitrary depth and to delete an entire directory subtree from the
+      filesystem.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>A race condition occurs within concurrent environments. This condition
+      was discovered by The cPanel Security Team in the rmtree and remove_tree
+      functions in the File-Path module before 2.13 for Perl. This is due to
+      the  time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition between the
+      stat() that decides the inode is a directory and the chmod() that tries
+      to make it user-rwx.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A local attacker could exploit this condition to set arbitrary mode
+      values on arbitrary files and hence bypass security restrictions.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
