Synopsis
========

mod_python contains a vulnerability in the Publisher Handler
potentially leading to information disclosure.

Background
==========

mod_python is an Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter
within the server allowing Python-based web-applications to be created.

Affected packages
=================

Description
===========

Graham Dumpleton discovered a vulnerability in mod_python's Publisher
Handler.

Impact
======

By requesting a specially crafted URL for a published module page, an
attacker could obtain information about restricted variables.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All mod_python users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/mod_python-3.1.3-r1"
