Starting 2 days ago, on our Debian sarge (testing) mail server (qmail + qmail-scanner + SpamAssassin) we appear unable to scan for viruses and spam following a Perl maintenance upgrade from 5.8.3-2 to 5.8.3-3. We receive this error message: "suidperl needs fd script". Googling did not yield any results. Can anyone help translate this message into a perl requirement?
It looks like it has to do with the following patch that was applied by the debian team:
* [CAN-2003-0618] Apply Paul Szabo's suidperl fixes to prevent path
disclosure (upstream change 22563; closes: #220486).You can find the original bug report here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=220486
and a new bug report for this problem that you are having can be found here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=240687
There is even a fix for qmail-scanner mentioned in that bug report:
---------------- It seems that the problem was caused by qmail-scanner.
After changing the first line in qmail-scanner-queue.pl from:
#!/usr/bin/suidperl -T
to:
#!/usr/bin/perl
the problem was fixed. ----------------
So I hope that fixes your problem too.
Cheers,
Cees
