 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3111-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Thorsten Alteholz September 15, 2022 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : mod-wsgi Version : 4.6.5-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-2255


 An issue has been found in mod-wsgi, a Python WSGI adapter module for Apache. A request from an untrusted proxy does not remove the X-Client-IP header and thus allowing this header to be passed to the target WSGI application.



 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 4.6.5-1+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your mod-wsgi packages.

 For the detailed security status of mod-wsgi please refer to its security tracker page at:

Solution
