HTTP::Body::Multipart in the HTTP-Body module for Perl (1.07 through 1.22, before 1.23) uses the part of the uploaded file's name after the first "." character as the suffix of a temporary file, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct attacks by leveraging subsequent behavior that may assume the suffix is well-formed.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - HTTP::Body::Multipart in the HTTP-Body module for Perl (1.07 through 1.22, before 1.23) uses the part of
    the uploaded file's name after the first "." character as the suffix of a temporary file, which makes it
    easier for remote attackers to conduct attacks by leveraging subsequent behavior that may assume the
    suffix is well-formed. (CVE-2013-4407)

perl-HTTP-Body was updated to 1.19 and also received a security fix for a potential remote code injection when upload files.

Updated perl-HTTP-Body package fixes security vulnerability :

Jonathan Dolle reported a design error in HTTP::Body, a Perl module for processing data from HTTP POST requests. The HTTP body multipart parser creates temporary files which preserve the suffix of the uploaded file. An attacker able to upload files to a service that uses HTTP::Body::Multipart could potentially execute commands on the server if these temporary filenames are used in subsequent commands without further checks (CVE-2013-4407).

The HTTP body multipart parser creates temporary files which preserve the suffix of the uploaded file. An attacker able to upload files to a service that uses HTTP::Body::Multipart could potentially execute commands on the server if these temporary filenames are used in subsequent commands without further checks.

This update restricts the possible suffixes used for the created temporary files.

The oldstable distribution (squeeze) is not affected by this problem.
