mod-wsgi vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

mod-wsgi could allow unintended access to network services.

Software Description:
- mod-wsgi: Python WSGI adapter module for Apache

Details:

It was discovered that mod-wsgi did not correctly remove the X-Client-IP
header when processing requests from untrusted proxies. A remote attacker
could use this issue to pass the header to WSGI applications, contrary
to expectations.

Update instructions:
