Descriptions

In Twisted Web through 19.10.0, there was an HTTP request splitting vulnerability. When presented with two content-length headers, it ignored the first header. When the second content-length value was set to zero, the request body was interpreted as a pipelined request.

En Twisted Web versiones hasta 19.10.0, se presentó una vulnerabilidad de división de petición HTTP. Cuando se le presentan dos encabezados content-length, ignora el primer encabezado. Cuando el segundo valor de content-length se estableció en cero, el cuerpo de la petición se interpretó como una petición canalizada "pipelined".

A flaw was found in python-twisted-web, where it does not correctly process HTTP requests, accepting requests with more than one Content-Length header. When the requests sent from and to the python-twisted-web are processed by another component that correctly processes HTTP requests, for example, a proxy, back-end, or web application firewall, a remote attacker can use this flaw to perform an HTTP request smuggling attack. This flaw impacts the system differently based on the type of application and the infrastructure.
