Subject Name:            Apache/mod_perl
Subject Summary:         Perl Extension Module for Apache
Subject Home:            http://perl.apache.org/
Subject Versions:        1.* <= 1.29

Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2007-1349
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           remote network
Attack Impact:           denial of service

Description:
    A vulnerability exists [0] in the Apache extension module mod_perl
    [1], which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to
    cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due
    to a regular expression in "PerlRun.pm" that uses the "path_info"
    variable without properly escaping it [2]. This can be exploited to
    cause a DoS by sending requests with specially crafted URLs to a
    vulnerable server [3][4].
