Debian Security Advisory DSA 431-2 (perl) addresses vulnerabilities in suidperl, a helper program to run perl scripts with setuid privileges, allowing an attacker to access unauthorized file information. It provides a complete fix for the problem and recommends updating the perl package if perl-suid is installed

permissions) that should not be accessible to unprivileged users.

DSA 431-1 incorporated a partial fix for this problem.  This advisory
includes a more complete fix which corrects some additional cases.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 5.6.1-8.7.

For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version
5.8.3-3.
