NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mod-wsgi package and not the mod-wsgi package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability was found in mod_wsgi. The X-Client-IP header is not removed from a request from an untrusted proxy, allowing an attacker to pass the X-Client-IP header to the target WSGI application because the condition to remove it is missing.
