[SECURITY] Fedora Core 6 Update: mod_perl-2.0.2-6.2.fc6
- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-577 2007-06-11 -

Product    : Fedora Core 6 Name       : mod_perl Version    : 2.0.2 Release    : 6.2.fc6 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. (CVE-2007-1349) - - add security fix for CVE-2007-1349 - drop perl(warnings) provide (#228429) - drop perl(HTTP::Request::Common) provide
