Background ========== Apache mod_fcgid is a binary-compatible alternative to mod_fastcgi with better process management. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apache/mod_fcgid < 2.3.9 >= 2.3.9 Description =========== Apache mod_fcgid fails to perform a boundary check on user-supplied input, potentially resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. Impact ====== A remote attacker can supply a crafted input, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Apache mod_fcgid users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_fcgid-2.3.9" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2013-4365 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4365 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201402-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
