medium Nessus Plugin ID 25103
Synopsis
The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.Description
Mandriva reports :PerlRun.pm in Apache mod_perl 1.29 and earlier, and RegistryCooker.pm in mod_perl 2.x, does not properly escape PATH_INFO before use in a regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted URI.
Solution
Update the affected packages.See Also
