NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perltidy package and not the perltidy package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

perltidy through 20160302, as used by perlcritic, check-all-the-things, and other software, relies on the current working directory for certain output files and does not have a symlink-attack protection mechanism, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by creating a symlink, as demonstrated by creating a perltidy.ERR symlink that the victim cannot delete.
