Description David Walser 2012-03-23 00:59:27 CET

An update candidate is in updates_testing

Advisory:
========================

Updated apache-mod_fcgid package fixes security vulnerability:

fcgid_spawn_ctl.c in the mod_fcgid module 2.3.6 for the Apache HTTP Server
does not recognize the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass directive for a virtual
host, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption) via a series of HTTP requests that triggers a process
count higher than the intended limit (CVE-2012-1181).

Some examples here - http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-04 21:32:28 CEST

Testing complete on i586 for the srpm
apache-mod_fcgid-2.3.6-0.2.mga1.src.rpm

Just testing using https://localhost/phpinfo,
which works and shows the module is loaded.
