Synopsis

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7093-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Werkzeug incorrectly handled multiple form submission requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Werkzeug to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.
