Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in mod_fcgid, allowing |
19 |
execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|

mod_fcgid is a binary-compatible alternative to mod_fastcgi with better |
25 |
process management. |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in mod_fcgid: |
39 |
|
40 |
* An error in the "fcgid_header_bucket_read()" function in |
41 |
fcgid_bucket.c could cause a stack-based buffer overflow |
42 |
(CVE-2010-3872). |
43 |
* An error in the "is_spawn_allowed() function in fcgid_spawn_ctl.c |
44 |
prevents Apache from recognizing the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass |
45 |
directive for a virtual host (CVE-2012-1181). |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the |
51 |
privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition. |
52 |
Furthermore, a remote attacker could send specially crafted HTTP |
53 |
requests, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All mod_fcgid users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_fcgid-2.3.7" |
