How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.10 libapache2-mod-fcgid to version 1:2.3.6-1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libapache2-mod-fcgid package and not the libapache2-mod-fcgid package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

fcgid_spawn_ctl.c in the mod_fcgid module 2.3.6 for the Apache HTTP Server does not recognize the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass directive for a virtual host, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a series of HTTP requests that triggers a process count higher than the intended limit.
