Robert Matthews discovered that the Apache FCGID module, a FastCGI implementation for Apache HTTP Server, fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.3.6-1+squeeze2. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.3.6-1.2+deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.3.9-1. We recommend that you upgrade your libapache2-mod-fcgid packages.
