+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Mod_perl is an Apache module that embeds the Perl interpreter within
+ the server, allowing Perl-based web-applications to be created.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Alex Solvey discovered that the "path_info" variable used in file
+ RegistryCooker.pm (mod_perl 2.x) or file PerlRun.pm (mod_perl 1.x), is
+ not properly escaped before being processed.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send a specially crafted URL to the vulnerable
+ server, possibly resulting in a massive resource consumption.

+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>

+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apache/mod_perl-1.30"</code>
