34541 mod_perl for Apache HTTP Server RegistryCooker.pm PATH_INFO Crafted URI Remot...

The mod_perl module for Apache HTTP Server contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The issue is due to the RegistryCooker.pm script not properly escaping the PATH_INFO variable before use in a regular expression. With specially crafted requests, an attacker can exhaust resources and cause the server to stop responding.
