The multipart_init function in (1) CGI.pm before 3.50 and (2) Simple.pm in CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier uses a hardcoded value of the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via crafted input that contains this value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3172.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Perl CGI components reused a predictable multipart boundary. If an application reflected attacker-controlled input into that response type, an attacker could make the server emit unintended HTTP headers. Business impact depends on whether legacy Perl CGI code is still internet-facing. Likely exposure is legacy Perl CGI applications or packaged products that use affected CGI.pm or CGI::Simple versions and generate multipart/x-mixed-replace responses with attacker-influenced content. Treat as a targeted legacy exposure issue. Prioritize internet-facing Perl CGI systems and old Linux distribution packages, especially where streaming multipart responses are used. No source in the bundle supports emergency active-exploitation handling. Mitigation focus: Inventory Perl CGI.pm and CGI::Simple versions in applications and OS packages.; Upgrade CGI.pm to 3.50 or later where directly bundled.; For CGI::Simple, follow maintainer or distribution guidance for fixed packages..
