   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:


   Apache2 mod_python has been changed to enable randomized
   hashes to help  fixing denial of service problems by
   injecting prepared values into Python  hash functions.
   (CVE-2012-1150)

   As some Python scripts might need a known hashing order,
   the old behaviour  can be restored using a newly introduced
   module option called

   PythonRandomizeHashes

   The option is default on, but can be disabled if necessary
   for  compatibility with above scripts.
