Title: Apache mod_python Module Publisher Handler Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Apache's mod_python is a module that allows the webserver to interpret Python scripts. The module supports Apache 1.3.x and 2.x and is available for Windows, Linux, and most UNIX systems.
The mod_python publisher can be used to map URL information directly into a Python module and function. Path information is used to locate the appropriate module and directory, and CGI parameters are passed as function parameters.
The mod_python module publisher handler is prone to a remote information-disclosure vulnerability. This issue may allow remote unauthorized attackers to gain access to sensitive objects. Specifically, an attacker can carry out this attack by issuing a malformed URI request that discloses the objects.
Information that attackers gain by exploiting this issue may help them launch further attacks against an affected server.
All versions of mod_python are considered vulnerable at the moment.
