The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200705-04 (Apache mod_perl: Denial of Service)
Alex Solvey discovered that the 'path_info' variable used in file RegistryCooker.pm (mod_perl 2.x) or file PerlRun.pm (mod_perl 1.x), is not properly escaped before being processed.
Impact :
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted URL to the vulnerable server, possibly resulting in a massive resource consumption.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
