A vulnerability has been found and corrected in perl-libwww-perl:

 

lwp-download in libwww-perl before 5.835 does not reject downloads to

filenames that begin with a . (dot) character, which allows remote

servers to create or overwrite files via (1) a 3xx redirect to a

URL with a crafted filename or (2) a Content-Disposition header

that suggests a crafted filename, and possibly execute arbitrary

code as a consequence of writing to a dotfile in a home directory

(CVE-2010-2253).

 

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended

Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
