NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl-version package and not the perl-version package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

CGI.pm module before 3.63 for Perl does not properly escape newlines in (1) Set-Cookie or (2) P3P headers, which might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary headers into responses from applications that use CGI.pm.
