                        TurboLinux Security Announcement

        Package: perl-5.00503 and earlier
        Date: Wednesday August 9 17:00 PDT 2000

        Affected TurboLinux versions: 6.0.5 and earlier (including
        4.x) Vulnerability Type: Local root exploit TurboLinux
        Advisory ID#:  TLSA2000018-1 Credits: Michal Zalewski, Simon

___________________________________________________________________________

A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above. Please
update the package in your installation as soon as possible or
disable the service.
___________________________________________________________________________

1. Problem Summary

A component of perl, sperl, runs suid root to enable execution of
perl code by a file's owner. When sperl is used in an improper
manner, it will alert the root user via /bin/mail that illegal use of
sperl has been attempted. A widely available exploit utilizes this
behavior to gain privileged access.

2. Impact

The latest versions of perl as well as past shipping versions of perl
in TurboLinux distributions are susceptible to a local root exploit.

3. Solution

Please upgrade your packages to match the new revision

Update the packages from our ftp server by running the following
command:

rpm -Fv ftp_path_to_filename

Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following for 4.x or 6.x versions:

ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/4.0/security/perl-5.00503-7.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/perl-5.005_02-8TL.i386.rpm

The source RPM can be downloaded here:

ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/4.0/SRPMS/perl-5.005_02-8TL.src.rpm
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/perl-5.00503-7.src.rpm

  **Note: You must rebuild and install the RPM if you choose to
  download and install the SRPM.  Simply installing the SRPM alone
  WILL NOT CLOSE THE SECURITY HOLE.

Please verify the MD5 checksum of the update before you install:

  MD5 sum                               Package Name
