Package : libapache-mod-python Vulnerability : denial of service Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2003-0973 Debian bug : 222828

The Apache Software Foundation announced that some versions of mod_python contain a bug which, when processing a request with a malformed query string, could cause the corresponding Apache child to crash. This bug could be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.7.8-0.0woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.7.10-1.

We recommend that you update your libapache-mod-python package.
