Fedora 31: 2020-aceb5a1d0a Moderate: perl-Mojolicious GET Method Issue

fedora
Calendar Grey May 18, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Addresses a vulnerability in perl-Mojolicious that permits _method parameters in GET requests for users running Fedora 31.
This package fixes a security issue that allowed for _method query parameters to be used with GET requests

Summary

Back in the early days of the web there was this wonderful Perl library

called CGI, many people only learned Perl because of it. It was simple

enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful

enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the

techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojolicious is

a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology.

This package fixes a security issue that allowed for _method query parameters to

be used with GET requests. The fix is backported from Mojolicious v8.42.
