| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Perl CGI module. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. Due to an inefficient regular expression used when parsing multipart/related Content-Type headers, processing non-matching headers triggers catastrophic backtracking. This results in excessive CPU resource exhaustion and renders the application unresponsive, even without a request body.
