CVE-2010-2761

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CGI.pm versions prior to 3.50 CGI::Simple versions prior to 1.112

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via crafted input. This is due to the hardcoded value of the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content used by the multipart init function.

Recommendations For CGI.pm versions prior to 3.50, update to version 3.50 or later to resolve the issue. For CGI::Simple versions prior to 1.112, update to version 1.112 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the multipart init function in CGI.pm and Simple.pm until a patch is available.
