(RHSA-2007:0395) Low: mod_perl security update

Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server,
so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code.

An issue was found in the “namespace_from_uri” method of the
ModPerl::RegistryCooker class. If a server implemented a mod_perl registry
module using this method, a remote attacker requesting a carefully crafted
URI can cause resource consumption, which could lead to a denial of service
(CVE-2007-1349).

Users of mod_perl should update to these erratum packages which contain a
backported fix to correct this issue.
