After removing the ' in front of "Option", it had another traceback on
the line beginning "The X server's", due to the ' I used there too. Kindof
surprising that nobody has used a common punctuation symbol ' in an advisory
for FC yet. ;o)
Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mod_python.publisher"

Description of problem: Fedora errata system explodes with a Python traceback when I submit my advisory text: Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mod_python.publisher" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/src/build/513032-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 332, in HandlerDispatch File "/usr/src/build/513032-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/mod_python/publisher.py", line 199, in handler File "/mnt/redhat/fedora-updates/edit.py", line 61, in add_update db.query(query) File "/mnt/redhat/fedora-updates/db.py", line 80, in query result = db.query(q) _pg.error: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "Option" at character 1585 Here is a copy of the advisory text I was trying to submit: =====8<========================================================== This new release of xorg-x11 provides a number of bug fixes to the previous release, including: - Fix for the infamous "libvgahw" bug, which was caused by a gcc compiler bug. Many users were affected by this issue, exhibiting symptoms such as X server crash or corrupted display during OS installation or during X server startup after performing a text mode install. Green or blue border/banding on screen for mga and some other hardware. A variety of video hardware that was affected by this issue should now work. Some users may still experience problems with similar sounding symptoms after this update, and should query bugzilla to find out if the particular issue is already reported in a separate bug, or file a new report if they still experience problems. - A problem with the Dutch keyboard layout has been resolved. - The open source "nv" driver for Nvidia hardware has been updated to the latest version. Additionally, a workaround has been added to the driver to disable known unstable acceleration primitives on some GeForce 6200/6600/6800 models. - Several bugs have been fixed in the Xnest X server. - DRI is now enabled by default on all ATI Radeon hardware except for the Radeon 7000/Radeon VE chipsets, which is known to be unstable for many users currently when DRI is enabled. Radeon 7000 users can re-enable DRI if desired by using 'Option "DRI" in the device section of the config file, with the understanding that we consider it unstable currently. - The X server's pci config space handling code has been updated to avoid PCI config space contention issues between the X server and the kernel. This resolves a number of bugs that have been reported to us concerning transient system lockups during OS startup on certain systems containing certain specific hardware combinations. Fedora Core 4 users are encouraged to update to this new release, and report any regressions in bugzilla. =====8<========================================================== It appears that it is trying to parse the actual advisory text that is input, instead of treating it as a block of text. There may be security vulnerabilities in the CGI script code perhaps. I'm going to update the text using some other syntax to try and avoid the bug.
