CVSS: 7.5EPSS: 0%CPEs: 1EXPL: 0CVE-2024-49769 – Waitress has a denial of service leading to high CPU usage/resource exhaustion
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-49769
Waitress is a Web Server Gateway Interface server for Python 2 and 3. When a remote client closes the connection before waitress has had the opportunity to call getpeername() waitress won't correctly clean up the connection leading to the main thread attempting to write to a socket that no longer exists, but not removing it from the list of sockets to attempt to process. This leads to a busy-loop calling the write function. A remote attacker could run waitress out of available sockets with very little resources required. Waitress 3.0.1 contains fixes that remove the race condition. • https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/1ae4e894c9f76543bee06584001583fc6fa8c95c https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/issues/418 https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/435 https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-3f84-rpwh-47g6 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-49769 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2322461 • CWE-772: Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime •
CVSS: 7.5EPSS: 0%CPEs: 2EXPL: 0CVE-2022-24761 – HTTP Request Smuggling in waitress
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-24761
Waitress is a Web Server Gateway Interface server for Python 2 and 3. When using Waitress versions 2.1.0 and prior behind a proxy that does not properly validate the incoming HTTP request matches the RFC7230 standard, Waitress and the frontend proxy may disagree on where one request starts and where it ends. This would allow requests to be smuggled via the front-end proxy to waitress and later behavior. There are two classes of vulnerability that may lead to request smuggling that are addressed by this advisory: The use of Python's `int()` to parse strings into integers, leading to `+10` to be parsed as `10`, or `0x01` to be parsed as `1`, where as the standard specifies that the string should contain only digits or hex digits; and Waitress does not support chunk extensions, however it was discarding them without validating that they did not contain illegal characters. This vulnerability has been patched in Waitress 2.1.1. • https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/9e0b8c801e4d505c2ffc91b891af4ba48af715e0 https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/releases/tag/v2.1.1 https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-4f7p-27jc-3c36 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/05/msg00011.html https://www.debian.org/security/2022/dsa-5138 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-24761 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2065086 • CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') •
CVSS: 7.5EPSS: 0%CPEs: 3EXPL: 0CVE-2019-16792 – HTTP Request Smuggling: Content-Length Sent Twice in Waitress
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-16792
Waitress through version 1.3.1 allows request smuggling by sending the Content-Length header twice. Waitress would header fold a double Content-Length header and due to being unable to cast the now comma separated value to an integer would set the Content-Length to 0 internally. If two Content-Length headers are sent in a single request, Waitress would treat the request as having no body, thereby treating the body of the request as a new request in HTTP pipelining. This issue is fixed in Waitress 1.4.0. Waitress hasta la versión 1.3.1, permite el tráfico no autorizado de peticiones mediante el envío del encabezado Content-Length dos veces. • https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/#security-fixes https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/575994cd42e83fd772a5f7ec98b2c56751bd3f65 https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-4ppp-gpcr-7qf6 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/05/msg00011.html https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2022.html • CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') •
CVSS: 8.2EPSS: 0%CPEs: 6EXPL: 0CVE-2019-16789 – HTTP Request Smuggling in Waitress: Invalid whitespace characters in headers
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-16789
In Waitress through version 1.4.0, if a proxy server is used in front of waitress, an invalid request may be sent by an attacker that bypasses the front-end and is parsed differently by waitress leading to a potential for HTTP request smuggling. Specially crafted requests containing special whitespace characters in the Transfer-Encoding header would get parsed by Waitress as being a chunked request, but a front-end server would use the Content-Length instead as the Transfer-Encoding header is considered invalid due to containing invalid characters. If a front-end server does HTTP pipelining to a backend Waitress server this could lead to HTTP request splitting which may lead to potential cache poisoning or unexpected information disclosure. This issue is fixed in Waitress 1.4.1 through more strict HTTP field validation. En Waitress versiones hasta 1.4.0, si un servidor proxy es usado frente a waitress, un atacante puede enviar una petición no comprobada que omita el front-end y que waitress analiza de manera diferente conllevando a un posible trafico no autorizado de peticiones HTTP. • https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:0720 https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/#security-fixes https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/11d9e138125ad46e951027184b13242a3c1de017 https://github.com/github/advisory-review/pull/14604 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/05/msg00011.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GVDHR2DNKCNQ7YQXISJ45NT4IQDX3LJ7 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedorapr • CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') •
CVSS: 7.5EPSS: 2%CPEs: 6EXPL: 1CVE-2019-16785 – HTTP Request Smuggling: LF vs CRLF handling in Waitress
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-16785
Waitress through version 1.3.1 implemented a "MAY" part of the RFC7230 which states: "Although the line terminator for the start-line and header fields is the sequence CRLF, a recipient MAY recognize a single LF as a line terminator and ignore any preceding CR." Unfortunately if a front-end server does not parse header fields with an LF the same way as it does those with a CRLF it can lead to the front-end and the back-end server parsing the same HTTP message in two different ways. This can lead to a potential for HTTP request smuggling/splitting whereby Waitress may see two requests while the front-end server only sees a single HTTP message. This issue is fixed in Waitress 1.4.0. Waitress versión hasta 1.3.1, implementó una parte "MAY" del RFC7230 que declara: "Aunque el terminador de línea para los campos de línea de inicio y encabezado es la secuencia CRLF, un receptor PUEDE reconocer un LF único como un terminador de línea e ignorar cualquier CR anterior". • https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:0720 https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/#security-fixes https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/8eba394ad75deaf9e5cd15b78a3d16b12e6b0eba https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-pg36-wpm5-g57p https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/05/msg00011.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GVDHR2DNKCNQ7YQXISJ45NT4IQDX3LJ7 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package • CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') •
