discovered that the DBI library, the Perl5 database interface, creates
a tmporary PID file in an insecure manner.  This can be exploited by a
malicious user to overwrite arbitrary files owned by the person
executing the parts of the library.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.21-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.46-6.
