Description:
Graham Dumpleton has reported a vulnerability in Mod_python, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the publisher handler in "publisher.py" where certain information in published objects are not properly protected. This can be exploited to disclose potentially sensitive information in published objects by accessing a specially crafted URL.
Solution:
Restrict access to URLs containing "func_". This may affect functionality.
