Debian DSA-3743-1 : python-bottle - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 95958

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that bottle, a WSGI-framework for the Python programming language, did not properly filter '\r\n' sequences when handling redirections. This allowed an attacker to perform CRLF attacks such as HTTP header injection.

Solution

Upgrade the python-bottle packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12.7-1+deb8u1.
