Product: Solaris 10, OpenSolaris

Two security vulnerabilities exist in the Apache 2 mod_perl2(3) module
components which affect the Apache 2.0 web server bundled with Solaris
10 and the Apache 2.2 web server bundled with OpenSolaris.

The first issue, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the "RunPerl.pm"
component (CVE-2007-1349), may allow a remote unprivileged user to
cause a Denial of Service to the Apache 2 "httpd" process.

The second issue, a Cross Site Scripting (CSS or XSS) vulnerability in the
"Status.pm" component (CVE-2009-0796), may allow a remote unprivileged
user to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This may allow the unprivileged
user to bypass access control and gain access to unauthorized data.
