Description
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.
A flaw was found in the FCGI library. In affected versions, specially crafted nameLen or valueLen values in data sent to the IPC socket may result in a heap-based buffer overflow, which can cause an application crash or other undefined behavior. This occurs in ReadParams in fcgiapp.c.
