Description Vincent Danen 2014-02-19 22:14:54 UTC
It was reported [1],[2] that the CGI::Application perl module suffered from a flaw where, in certain cases, it would unexpectedly dump a complete set of web query data and server environment information as an error page.  This could allow unintended disclosure of sensitive information.

A suggested fix is available [3] and the commit that caused the problem [4] was most likely introduced in version 4.19.
