Details follow:
Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pefa from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered that the module DBI::ProxyServer in Perl's DBI library created a PID file in an insecure manner. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking a program using this module (like 'dbiproxy').
Now the module does not create a such a PID file by default.
