Apache mod_fcgid: Arbitrary code execution A buffer overflow in Apache mod_fcgid might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition. mod_fcgid February 07, 2014 February 07, 2014: 1 487314 remote 2.3.9 2.3.9

Apache mod_fcgid is a binary-compatible alternative to mod_fastcgi with better process management.

Apache mod_fcgid fails to perform a boundary check on user-supplied input, potentially resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow.

A remote attacker can supply a crafted input, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Apache mod_fcgid users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_fcgid-2.3.9" CVE-2013-4365 BlueKnight BlueKnight
