+
+In February 2017 the cPanel Security Team reported an additional vulnerability
+in File-Path.  The C<chmod()> logic to make directories traversable can be
+abused to set the mode on an attacker-chosen file to an attacker-chosen value.
+This is due to the time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTTOU) race condition
+(L<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_check_to_time_of_use>) between the
+C<stat()> that decides the inode is a directory and the C<chmod()> that tries
+to make it user-rwx.  CPAN versions 2.13 and later incorporate a patch
+provided by John Lightsey to address this problem.  This vulnerability has
+been reported as CVE-2017-6512.
