--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-139 2005-02-10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 2 Name : mod_python Version : 3.1.3 Release : 1.fc2.2 Summary : An embedded Python interpreter for the Apache Web server. Description : 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Mon Jan 31 2005 Joe Orton <jorton@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.1.3-1.fc2.2 - add security fix for CVE CAN-2005-0088 (#146656) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/ cf23151b04a255effb2a138aaceb94f6 SRPMS/mod_python-3.1.3-1.fc2.2.src.rpm 59f9678fa03b908065cd3944bf7808a7 x86_64/mod_python-3.1.3-1.fc2.2.x86_64.rpm d07a9c2cc5a95feb3ff830dd20d25ef5 x86_64/debug/mod_python-debuginfo-3.1.3-1.fc2.2.x86_64.rpm e660f1f9839de749e7818cdaba49a2fb i386/mod_python-3.1.3-1.fc2.2.i386.rpm 24ff630cfbdbda45808def9370f06231 i386/debug/mod_python-debuginfo-3.1.3-1.fc2.2.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
