==========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
  libapache2-mod-python                    3.1.3-3ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  libapache2-mod-python                    3.1.4-0ubuntu1.1

Miles Egan discovered that mod_python, when used in output filter mode, 
did not handle output larger than 16384 bytes, and would display freed 
memory, possibly disclosing private data.  Thanks to Jim Garrison of the 
Software Freedom Law Center for identifying the original bug as a 
security vulnerability.
