Kevin Finisterre discovered bugs in perl’s I/O debug support :

  • The environmental variable PERLIO_DEBUG is honored even by the set-user-ID perl command (usually named sperl or suidperl). As a result, a local attacker may be able to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2005-0155)

  • A buffer overflow may occur in threaded versions of perl when the full pathname of the script being executed is very long.
    (CVE-2005-0156).

Note: By default, no set-user-ID perl binary is installed. An administrator must enable it manually at build time with the ENABLE_SUIDPERL port flag.
