An update for perl-FCGI is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2
Update Services for SAP Solutions.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of
Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

The perl-FCGI package provides a Perl module for writing FastCGI
applications. FastCGI is a more efficient alternative to traditional CGI, as
it keeps application processes persistent across multiple requests. This
module allows Perl web applications to handle requests faster and with lower
resource overhead, making it suitable for high-traffic environments.

Security Fix(es):

* perl-fcgi: FCGI versions 0.44 through 0.82, for Perl, include a vulnerable
version of the FastCGI fcgi2 (aka fcgi) library (CVE-2025-40907)
