Amazon Linux 2 : python-twisted-web (ALAS-2022-1827)

high Nessus Plugin ID 163315

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of python-twisted-web installed on the remote host is prior to 12.1.0-8. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1827 advisory.

 A flaw was found in python-twisted. This vulnerability occurs due to the parsing of illegal constructs in the twisted.web.http module. The illegal constructs include '+/-' in the Content-Length header, '\n and \t' etc. Non-conformant parsing leads to a desync if requests pass through multiple HTTP parsers. This flaw allows a remote attacker to perform an HTTP request smuggling attack. (CVE-2022-24801)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update python-twisted-web' to update your system.
