  <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>
