NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python39:3.9/python39-pip-wheel package and not the python39:3.9/python39-pip-wheel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 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.
