Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0391)
CWE-ID: CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary data in server response.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of attacker-supplied data within the urllib.parse module in Python. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application containing CR-LF characters and modify application behavior.
2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3737)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop. A remote attacker who controls a malicious server can force the client to enter an infinite loop on a 100 Continue response.
3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43818)
CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the HTML Cleaner in lxml.html. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
4) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3733)
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application within the AbstractBasicAuthHandler class in urllib. A remote attacker with control over the server can perform regular expression denial of service attack during authentication.
