CGI.pm is used by the Bugzilla code base. However, Bugzilla may not
always be vulnerable to issues in CGI.pm depending on they use it.

Yes, it is. However, later testing found that the issue wasn't
completely fixed in 3.50. A new patch has been developed, and is
currently pending review and acceptance by the primary CGI.pm author,
Lincoln Stein. (Now CC'ed).

Note that CGI::Simple also shares the header newline injection issue
with CGI.pm, but remains unpatched. I submitted a patch, but it has not
been applied, as seen in the Network view:

https://github.com/markstos/CGI--Simple/network

However, even the patch I submitted is not fully complete, as it mirrors
the 3.50 state of CGI.pm, and thus also needs further work. Once CGI.pm
has a final update to address the remaining header injection issue, I'll
share the same patch with CGI::Simple.

The multipart_init function in (1) CGI.pm before 3.50 and (2)
Simple.pm in CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier uses a hardcoded value of
the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content, which
allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct
HTTP response splitting attacks via crafted input that contains this
value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3172.

Ahhh... MITRE has this broken down as two issues, the second of which is here:

CRLF injection vulnerability in the header function in (1) CGI.pm
before 3.50 and (2) Simple.pm in CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier allows
remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP
response splitting attacks via vectors related to non-whitespace
characters preceded by newline characters, a different vulnerability
than CVE-2010-2761 and CVE-2010-3172.


I'm noting both together as I believe they should have equal affects across affected products (i.e. one won't affect in a place where another doesn't).  If that is incorrect, we may need to split this bug into two.

Tom, Kurt,

  since the CVEs description from c#3 and c#4 can't be split based
on package, please take this bug as a master security bug also
for perl-CGI-Simple component for now (the bugs were filed sooner
than CVEs were assigned [each being for both components :(]).
