[SECURITY] Fedora 7 Update: mod_perl-2.0.3-9.1.fc7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-0316 2007-06-09 12:19:05.825516 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : mod_perl Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.0.3 Release : 9.1.fc7 Summary : An embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache Web server Description : Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server, so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code. Mod_perl links the Perl runtime library into the Apache web server and provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache's C language API. The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround process, since no external Perl interpreter has to be started. Install mod_perl if you're installing the Apache web server and you'd like for it to directly incorporate a Perl interpreter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a security issue in mod_perl. An issue was found in the "namespace_from_uri" method of the ModPerl::RegistryCooker class. If a server implemented a mod_perl registry module using this method, a remote attacker requesting a carefully crafted URI can cause resource consumption, which could lead to a denial of service.
