Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-f6a5b71464
2018-09-21 05:19:39.103387
——————————————————————————–
Name : mod_perl
Product : Fedora 29
Version : 2.0.10
Release : 13.fc29
URL : http://perl.apache.org/
Summary : An embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache HTTP Server
Description :
Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server,
so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code.
Mod_perl links the Perl run-time library into the Apache web server and
provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache’s C language
API. The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround process, since
no external Perl interpreter has to be started.
Install mod_perl if you’re installing the Apache web server and you’d
like for it to directly incorporate a Perl interpreter.

Update Information:
This release fixes CVE-2011-2767 vulnerability (an arbitrary Perl code execution
in the context of the httpd server) by disabling <Perl> sections in non-server-
level configuration.
