Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200412-04 - Some Perl modules create temporary files in world-writable directories with predictable names. A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When a Perl script is executed, this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the utility, which could be the root user.
