Title:RHSA-2004:058: mod_python security update (Low)
Description:mod_python embeds the Python language interpreter within the Apache httpd server.

A bug has been found in mod_python versions 2.7.10 and earlier that can lead to a denial of service vulnerability. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0973 to this issue.

Although Red Hat Enterprise Linux shipped with a version of mod_python that contains this bug, our testing was unable to trigger the denial of service vulnerability. However, mod_python users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain a backported patch that corrects this bug.
