mod_perl -- remote DoS in PATH_INFO parsing

Description:

Mandriva reports:

PerlRun.pm in Apache mod_perl 1.29 and earlier, and RegistryCooker.pm in mod_perl 2.x, does not properly escape PATH_INFO before use in a regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted URI.
