Low: Red Hat Network Proxy Server security update

Red Hat Network Proxy Server version 5.1.1 is now available. This update
includes a fix for a security issue in a Red Hat Network Proxy Server
component.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

The Red Hat Network Proxy Server 5.1.1 release corrects a security
vulnerability in a shipped component. In a typical operating environment,
this component is not exposed to users of Proxy Server in a vulnerable
manner. This security update will reduce risk in unique Proxy Server
environments.

A flaw was found in the mod_perl "ModPerl::RegistryCooker" class. If a
server implemented a mod_perl registry module using the
"namespace_from_uri" method, a remote attacker requesting a carefully
crafted URI can cause resource consumption, which could lead to a denial of
service. (CVE-2007-1349)

Users of Red Hat Network Proxy Server 5.1 are advised to upgrade to 5.1.1,
which resolves this issue.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
