high Nessus Plugin ID 194537

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 40 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-f2bb9ee617 advisory.

 ## python-aiohttp 3.8.6 (2023-10-07)

 https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/blob/v3.8.6/CHANGES.rst#386-2023-10-07

 ### Security bugfixes

 - Upgraded `llhttp` to v9.1.3: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/security/advisories/GHSA-pjjw-qhg8-p2p9
 - Updated Python parser to comply with RFCs 9110/9112: https://github.com/aio- libs/aiohttp/security/advisories/GHSA-gfw2-4jvh-wgfg

 ### Deprecation

 - Added `fallback_charset_resolver` parameter in `ClientSession` to allow a user-supplied character set detection function. Character set detection will no longer be included in 3.9 as a default. If this feature is needed, please use [`fallback_charset_resolver`](https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_advanced.html#character-set- detection).

 ### Features

 - Enabled lenient response parsing for more flexible parsing in the client (this should resolve some regressions when dealing with badly formatted HTTP responses).

 ### Bugfixes

 - Fixed `PermissionError` when `.netrc` is unreadable due to permissions.
 - Fixed output of parsing errors pointing to a `\n`.
 - Fixed `GunicornWebWorker` max_requests_jitter not working.
 - Fixed sorting in `filter_cookies` to use cookie with longest path.
 - Fixed display of `BadStatusLine` messages from `llhttp`.

 ----

 ## llhttp 9.1.3

 ### Fixes

 - Restart the parser on HTTP 100
 - Fix chunk extensions quoted-string value parsing
 - Fix lenient_flags truncated on reset
 - Fix chunk extensions parameters parsing when more then one name-value pair provided

 ## llhttp 9.1.2

 ### What's Changed

 - Fix HTTP 1xx handling

 ## llhttp 9.1.1

 ### What's Changed

 - feat: Expose new lenient methods

 ## llhttp 9.1.0

 ### What's Changed

 - New lenient flag to make CR completely optional
 - New lenient flag to have spaces after chunk header

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