Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for libapache2-mod-perl2 some time ago.

CVE-2007-1349[0]:
| PerlRun.pm in Apache mod_perl before 1.30, 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.

Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable. It does
not warrant a DSA.

However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.

This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working on an
upgrade this is of course pointless.

You can find a patch on:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=521584

You can see the status of this vulnerability on:
