Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 : Tornado vulnerabilities (USN-7150-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 212409

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7150-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Tornado incorrectly handled a certain redirect. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to redirect a user to an arbitrary web site and conduct a phishing attack by having the user access a specially crafted URL. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS was previously addressed in USN-6159-1. (CVE-2023-28370)

 It was discovered that Tornado inefficiently handled requests when parsing cookies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to increase resource utilization leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-52804)

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 python-tornado and / or python3-tornado packages.
