3. Problem description:
DBI is a database access Application Programming Interface (API) for
the Perl programming language.
The Debian Security Audit Project discovered that the DBI library creates a
temporary PID file in an insecure manner. A local user could overwrite or
create files as a different user who happens to run an application which
uses DBI::ProxyServer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0077 to this issue.
Users should update to this erratum package which disables the temporary
PID file unless configured.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
up2date

following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:
