+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Perl is a cross platform programming language. The DBI is the standard
+    database interface module for Perl.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that the DBI library creates
+    temporary files in an insecure, predictable way (CAN-2005-0077). Paul
+    Szabo found out that "File::Path::rmtree" is vulnerable to various race
+    conditions (CAN-2004-0452, CAN-2005-0448).

+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
+    directory that point to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+    the DBI library or File::Path::rmtree is executed, this could be used
+    to overwrite or remove files with the rights of the user calling these
+    functions.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There are no known workarounds at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Perl users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-lang/perl</code>

+    All DBI library users should upgrade to the latest version:
