How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl package and not the perl package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Race condition in the rmtree and remove_tree functions in the File-Path module before 2.13 for Perl allows attackers to set the mode on arbitrary files via vectors involving directory-permission loosening logic.
