Synopsis

The remote web server module has a remote information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to the web server banner, the version of mod_wsgi running on the remote host is prior to version 3.4. It is, therefore, affected by a remote information disclosure vulnerability.

The issue is due to the handling of corrupted 'Response Content-Type' headers. A remote attacker could potentially access sensitive information in memory chunks.
