Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0089)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl-FCGI' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0089 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl-FCGI' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0089 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated fcgi packages fix security vulnerability: FCGI does not perform range checks for file descriptors before use of the FD_SET macro. This FD_SET macro could allow for more than 1024 total file descriptors to be monitored in the closing state. This may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption, and infinite loop or daemon crash) by opening many socket connections to the host and crashing the service (CVE-2012-6687). Affected Software/OS: 'perl-FCGI' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
