Ubuntu Security Notice USN-80-1           February 11, 2005
libapache2-mod-python vulnerabilities
CAN-2005-0088
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

libapache2-mod-python2.2
libapache2-mod-python2.3

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 3.1.3-1ubuntu3.2.  After a standard system upgrade you need to
restart the Apache 2 web server using

  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Graham Dumpleton discovered an information disclosure in the
"publisher" handle of mod_python. By requesting a carefully crafted
URL for a published module page, anybody can obtain extra information
about internal variables, objects, and other information which is not
intended to be visible.
