NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl-FCGI-debuginfo package and not the perl-FCGI-debuginfo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

FCGI versions 0.44 through 0.82, for Perl, include a vulnerable version of the FastCGI fcgi2 (aka fcgi) library.

The included FastCGI library is affected by CVE-2025-23016, causing an integer overflow (and resultant heap-based buffer overflow) via crafted nameLen or valueLen values in data to the IPC socket. This occurs in ReadParams in fcgiapp.c.
