CVSS: 7.8EPSS: 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
29 Oct 2024 — 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 resou... • https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/1ae4e894c9f76543bee06584001583fc6fa8c95c • 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
17 Mar 2022 — 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 advi... • https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/commit/9e0b8c801e4d505c2ffc91b891af4ba48af715e0 • CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') •
CVSS: 6.8EPSS: 13%CPEs: 1EXPL: 1CVE-2020-5236 – Catastrophic backtracking in regex allows Denial of Service in Waitress
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2020-5236
04 Feb 2020 — Waitress version 1.4.2 allows a DOS attack When waitress receives a header that contains invalid characters. When a header like "Bad-header: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\x10" is received, it will cause the regular expression engine to catastrophically backtrack causing the process to use 100% CPU time and blocking any other interactions. This allows an attacker to send a single request with an invalid header and take the service offline. This issue was introduced in version 1.4.2 when the regular expression was updated ... • https://github.com/motikan2010/CVE-2020-5236 • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
