Fedora Core 2: 2005-139 Critical: Mod_Python Info Leak Fix

Mod_python is a module that embeds the Python language interpreter within

the server, allowing Apache handlers to be written in Python.

Mod_python brings together the versatility of Python and the power of

the Apache Web server for a considerable boost in flexibility and

performance over the traditional CGI approach.

Graham Dumpleton discovered a flaw affecting the publisher handler of

mod_python, used to make objects inside modules callable via URL.

A remote user could visit a carefully crafted URL that would gain access to

objects that should not be visible, leading to an information leak. The

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned

the name CAN-2005-0088 to this issue.

This update includes a patch which fixes this issue.

- add security fix for CVE CAN-2005-0088 (#146656)
