Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 : Requests vulnerability (USN-6155-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 177111

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6155-1 advisory.

 Dennis Brinkrolf and Tobias Funke discovered that Requests incorrectly leaked Proxy-Authorization headers.
 A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

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

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