Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: mod_perl security update
Notes
Topic
Updated mod_perl packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server,
so that the Apache HTTP server can directly execute Perl code.
The Apache::PerlRun module was found to not properly escape PATH_INFO
before being used in a regular expression. If a server is configured to
use Apache::PerlRun, an attacker could request a carefully crafted URI
causing resource consumption, which could lead to a denial of service
(CVE-2007-1349).
Users of mod_perl should update to these erratum packages which contain a
backported fix to correct this issue.
