Hi, A new local root compromise has been detected in Perl 5.005_03 and later versions. This seems to affect most, if not all Linux distributions. If you're not using Perl on your system, please remove it completely and await fixed package announcements. I'll keep you posted on the status of patches and new packages. This is a VERY SERIOUS problem for anyone who has given shells to people on his/her machine and has Perl installed.
