Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU84655

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-47641

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests if both Content-Length(CL) and Transfer-Encoding(TE) header values are present in the request. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
dev-python/aiohttp to version: 3.9.4

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions

dev-python/aiohttp: before 3.9.4

CPE2.3 External links

https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202408-11


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests
