Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. If an upload of a file that starts with CR or LF and then is followed by megabytes of data without these characters: all of these bytes are appended chunk by chunk into internal bytearray and lookup for boundary is performed on growing buffer. This allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted multipart data to an endpoint that will parse it. The amount of CPU time required can block worker processes from handling legitimate requests. This vulnerability has been patched in version 3.0.1.

The version of python-werkzeug installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-46136 advisory.

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:7473 advisory.

  - Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Prior to version 2.2.3, Werkzeug's multipart     form data parser will parse an unlimited number of parts, including file parts. Parts can be a small     amount of bytes, but each requires CPU time to parse and may use more memory as Python data. If a request     can be made to an endpoint that accesses `request.data`, `request.form`, `request.files`, or     `request.get_data(parse_form_data=False)`, it can cause unexpectedly high resource usage. This allows an     attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted multipart data to an endpoint that will parse it.
    The amount of CPU time required can block worker processes from handling legitimate requests. The amount     of RAM required can trigger an out of memory kill of the process. Unlimited file parts can use up memory     and file handles. If many concurrent requests are sent continuously, this can exhaust or kill all     available workers. Version 2.2.3 contains a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-25577)

  - HAProxy through 2.0.32, 2.1.x and 2.2.x through 2.2.30, 2.3.x and 2.4.x through 2.4.23, 2.5.x and 2.6.x     before 2.6.15, 2.7.x before 2.7.10, and 2.8.x before 2.8.2 forwards empty Content-Length headers,     violating RFC 9110 section 8.6. In uncommon cases, an HTTP/1 server behind HAProxy may interpret the     payload as an extra request. (CVE-2023-40225)
