Perl is vulnerable to Denial Of Service (DoS). Due to race conditions occured in the way the File::Path moduleโs rmtree function removed directory trees, a malicious, local user with write access to a directory being removed by a victim, running a Perl script using rmtree, could cause the permissions of arbitrary files to be changed to world-writable and setuid, or delete arbitrary files via a symbolic link attack, if the victim had the privileges to change the permissions of the target files or to remove them.
