Fedora 45 : perl-HTTP-Headers-ActionPack (2026-37e6cc76fc)

high Nessus Plugin ID 376825

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 45 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-37e6cc76fc advisory.

 HTTP::Headers::ActionPack versions before 0.10 for Perl allow CPU exhaustion via Accept-Language ranges matched as regular expressions. Version 0.10 uses substrings, not regexes to prevent this from happening.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected perl-HTTP-Headers-ActionPack package.
