Dist Debian Esm H88
Critical patch released for mod-wsgi to fix X-Remote-Address vulnerability. Debian LTS users should update immediately for enhanced protection.
An issue has been found in mod-wsgi, a Python WSGI adapter module for Apache

Summary

An issue has been found in mod-wsgi, a Python WSGI adapter module for
Apache. A request from an untrusted proxy does not remove the X-Client-IP
header and thus allowing this header to be passed to the target WSGI application.


For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
4.6.5-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mod-wsgi packages.

For the detailed security status of mod-wsgi please refer to
