Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libapache2-mod-fcgid' package(s) announced via the DSA-2436-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libapache2-mod-fcgid' package(s) announced via the DSA-2436-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that the Apache FCGID module, a FastCGI implementation, did not properly enforce the FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass resource limit, rendering this control ineffective and potentially allowing a virtual host to consume excessive resources. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.3.6-1+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.3.6-1.1. We recommend that you upgrade your libapache2-mod-fcgid packages. Affected Software/OS: 'libapache2-mod-fcgid' package(s) on Debian 6. 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
