Debian Security Advisory

DSA-689-1 libapache-mod-python -- missing input sanitizing

Date Reported:

23 Feb 2005

Affected Packages:

libapache-mod-python

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-0088.

More information:

Graham Dumpleton discovered a flaw which can affect anyone using the publisher handle of the Apache Software Foundation's mod_python. The publisher handle lets you publish objects inside modules to make them callable via URL. The flaw allows a carefully crafted URL to obtain extra information that should not be visible (information leak).

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.8-0.0woody5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.10-4 of libapache-mod-python and in version 3.1.3-3 of libapache2-mod-python.

We recommend that you upgrade your libapache-mod-python package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
