   Distribution:  http-session
       Versions:  before 0.54

HTTP::Session versions before 0.54 for Perl allow memcached command
injection via unfiltered session ids in HTTP::Session::Store::CHI

Description
-----------
HTTP::Session versions before 0.54 for Perl allow memcached command
injection via unfiltered session ids in HTTP::Session::Store::CHI.

The session id from the client's cookie reaches the CHI cache
unchanged. The sibling HTTP::Session::Store::Memcached rejects ids that
contain control characters, but the CHI store has no such check, and
CHI does not escape keys for its memcached drivers.

With a memcached driver, a CR and LF in the session id end the cache
command early, and the server reads the bytes after them as further
commands.

Problem types
-------------
- CWE-93 Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences

Solutions
---------
Upgrade to http-session 0.54 or later.
