Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Prior to version 23.10.0rc1, when sending multiple HTTP requests in one TCP packet, twisted.web will process the requests asynchronously without guaranteeing the response order. If one of the endpoints is controlled by an attacker, the attacker can delay the response on purpose to manipulate the response of the second request when a victim launched two requests using HTTP pipeline. Version 23.10.0rc1 contains a patch for this issue.

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5797 advisory.

    Package        : twisted     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-46137 CVE-2024-41671 CVE-2024-41810

    Multiple security issues were found in Twisted, an event-based framework     for internet applications, which could result in incorrect ordering of     HTTP requests or cross-site scripting.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 22.4.0-4+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your twisted packages.

    For the detailed security status of twisted please refer to     its security tracker page at:

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0322 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * python3-gitpython/python39-gitpython: Blind local file inclusion (CVE-2023-41040)

    * python3-twisted/python39-twisted: disordered HTTP pipeline response in twisted.web (CVE-2023-46137)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
