<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.

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted URL to the vulnerable
|
|
server, possibly resulting in a massive resource consumption.
