Summary
Updated perl-FCGI packages fix CVE-2012-6687
Details

Updated fcgi packages fix security vulnerability:

FCGI does not perform range checks for file descriptors before use of the FDSET macro. This FDSET 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).
