aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. When using aiohttp as a web server and configuring static routes, it is necessary to specify the root path for static files. Additionally, the option 'follow_symlinks' can be used to determine whether to follow symbolic links outside the static root directory. When 'follow_symlinks' is set to True, there is no validation to check if reading a file is within the root directory. This can lead to directory traversal vulnerabilities, resulting in unauthorized access to arbitrary files on the system, even when symlinks are not present. Disabling follow_symlinks and using a reverse proxy are encouraged mitigations. Version 3.9.2 fixes this issue.

    This RHUI update fixes the following bugs:

    * The rhui-installer failed on RHEL 8.10 Beta due to the use of distutils. This has been addressed by     updating to a newer version of ansible-collection-community-crypto which does not use the distutils.

    This RHUI update introduces the following enhancements:

    * A native Ansible module is now used to update the packages on the RHUA server when the RHUI installer is     run for the first time or rerun at any time. This update can be prevented by using the --ignore-newer-     rhel-packages flag on the rhui-installer command line.

    * PulpCore has been updated to version 3.39.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0577-1 advisory.

  - aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. The HTTP parser in AIOHTTP     has numerous problems with header parsing, which could lead to request smuggling. This parser is only used     when AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled (or not using a prebuilt wheel). These bugs have been addressed in     commit `d5c12ba89` which has been included in release version 3.8.6. Users are advised to upgrade. There     are no known workarounds for these issues. (CVE-2023-47627)

  - aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Affected versions of     aiohttp have a security vulnerability regarding the inconsistent interpretation of the http protocol.
    HTTP/1.1 is a persistent protocol, if both Content-Length(CL) and Transfer-Encoding(TE) header values are     present it can lead to incorrect interpretation of two entities that parse the HTTP and we can poison     other sockets with this incorrect interpretation. A possible Proof-of-Concept (POC) would be a     configuration with a reverse proxy(frontend) that accepts both CL and TE headers and aiohttp as backend.
    As aiohttp parses anything with chunked, we can pass a chunked123 as TE, the frontend entity will ignore     this header and will parse Content-Length. The impact of this vulnerability is that it is possible to     bypass any proxy rule, poisoning sockets to other users like passing Authentication Headers, also if it is     present an Open Redirect an attacker could combine it to redirect random users to another website and log     the request. This vulnerability has been addressed in release 3.8.0 of aiohttp. Users are advised to     upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-47641)

  - aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Security-sensitive parts     of the Python HTTP parser retained minor differences in allowable character sets, that must trigger error     handling to robustly match frame boundaries of proxies in order to protect against injection of additional     requests. Additionally, validation could trigger exceptions that were not handled consistently with     processing of other malformed input. Being more lenient than internet standards require could, depending     on deployment environment, assist in request smuggling. The unhandled exception could cause excessive     resource consumption on the application server and/or its logging facilities. This vulnerability exists     due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-47627. Version 3.9.2 fixes this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-23829)
