Mod_python is an Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter
|
||
|
|
within the server allowing Python-based web-applications to be
|
||
|
|
created.

The Apache Foundation has reported that mod_python may be prone to
|
||
|
|
Denial of Service attacks when handling a malformed
|
||
|
|
query. Mod_python 2.7.9 was released to fix the vulnerability,
|
||
|
|
however, because the vulnerability has not been fully fixed,
|
||
|
|
version 2.7.10 has been released.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Users of mod_python 3.0.4 are not affected by this vulnerability.

Although there are no known public exploits known for this
|
||
|
|
exploit, users are recommended to upgrade mod_python to ensure the
|
||
|
|
security of their infrastructure.

no immediate workaround.
