Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 : Twisted vulnerabilities (USN-6575-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 187918

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6575-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly escaped host headers in certain 404 responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTML and script injection attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-39348)

 It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled response order when processing multiple HTTP requests.
 A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to delay responses and manipulate the responses of second requests. (CVE-2023-46137)

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

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

Solution

Update the affected python3-twisted and / or python3-twisted-bin packages.
