Fedora 29: FEDORA-2018-f6a5b71464 Critical: mod_perl Exec Risk

This release fixes CVE-2011-2767 vulnerability (an arbitrary Perl code execution in the context of the httpd server) by disabling sections in non-server- level configuration. . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-f6a5b71464 2018-09-21 05:19:39.103387 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : mod_perl Product : Fedora 29 Version : 2.0.10 Release : 13.fc29 URL : https://perl.apache.org/ Summary : An embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache HTTP Server Description : Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server, so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code. Mod_perl links the Perl run-time library into the Apache web server and provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache's C language API. The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround process, since no external Perl interpreter has to be started. Install mod_perl if you're installing the Apache web server and you'd like for it to directly incorporate a Perl interpreter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: This release fixes CVE-2011-2767 vulnerability (an arbitrary Perl code execution in the context of the httpd server) by disabling sections in non-server-level configuration. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1623265 - CVE-2011-2767 mod_perl: arbitrary Perl code execution in the context of the user account via a user-owned .htaccess https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1623265 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
