| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in perl-cgi. A remote attacker can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) through excessive memory, processor, and disk space consumption by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. Due to missing or unenforced limits on request sizes, parameters, and file uploads, the module processes oversized or chunked payloads directly into memory without restriction, leading to system resource exhaustion.
