+ <background>
+ <p>mod_fcgid is a binary-compatible alternative to mod_fastcgi with better
+ process management.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in mod_fcgid:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>An error in the "fcgid_header_bucket_read()" function in
+ fcgid_bucket.c could cause a stack-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2010-3872).
+ </li>
+ <li>An error in the "is_spawn_allowed() function in fcgid_spawn_ctl.c
+ prevents Apache from recognizing the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass
+ directive for a virtual host (CVE-2012-1181).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>A local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
+ Furthermore, a remote attacker could send specially crafted HTTP
+ requests, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All mod_fcgid users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apache/mod_fcgid-2.3.7"
+ </code>
