This looks distinct from some older rmtree() issues, so I'm assigning a
new number.

======================================================
Name: CVE-2008-2827
Status: Candidate
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2827
Reference: MISC:http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487319
Reference: MISC:http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36982

The rmtree function in lib/File/Path.pm in Perl 5.10 does not properly
check permissions before performing a chmod, which allows local users
to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack, a
different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448 and CVE-2004-0452.
