Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Started with version 0.9.4, when the host header does not match a configured host `twisted.web.vhost.NameVirtualHost` will return a `NoResource` resource which renders the Host header unescaped into the 404 response allowing HTML and script injection. In practice this should be very difficult to exploit as being able to modify the Host header of a normal HTTP request implies that one is already in a privileged position. This issue was fixed in version 22.10.0rc1. There are no known workarounds.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

    Multiple security issues were found in Twisted, an event-based framework     for internet applications, which could result in incorrect ordering of     HTTP requests or cross-site scripting.

    CVE-2022-39348

        When the host header does not match a configured host         `twisted.web.vhost.NameVirtualHost` will return a `NoResource`         resource which renders the Host header unescaped into the 404         response allowing HTML and script injection. In practice this         should be very difficult to exploit as being able to modify the         Host header of a normal HTTP request implies that one is already         in a privileged position.

    CVE-2023-46137

        When sending multiple HTTP requests in one TCP packet, twisted.web         will process the requests asynchronously without guaranteeing the         response order. If one of the endpoints is controlled by an         attacker, the attacker can delay the response on purpose to         manipulate the response of the second request when a victim         launched two requests using HTTP pipeline.

    CVE-2024-41671

        The HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 server provided by twisted.web could process         pipelined HTTP requests out-of-order, possibly resulting in         information disclosure.

    CVE-2024-41810

        The `twisted.web.util.redirectTo` function contains an HTML         injection vulnerability. If application code allows an attacker to         control the redirect URL this vulnerability may result in         Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the redirect response HTML         body.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     20.3.0-7+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your twisted packages.

    (CVE-2022-40897)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1717 advisory.

    A flaw was found in python-twisted. This vulnerability occurs due to the parsing of illegal constructs in     the twisted.web.http module. The illegal constructs include '+/-' in the Content-Length header, '\n and     \t' etc. Non-conformant parsing leads to a desync if requests pass through multiple HTTP parsers. This     flaw allows a remote attacker to perform an HTTP request smuggling attack. (CVE-2022-24801)

    Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Started with version 0.9.4, when the host     header does not match a configured host `twisted.web.vhost.NameVirtualHost` will return a `NoResource`     resource which renders the Host header unescaped into the 404 response allowing HTML and script injection.
    In practice this should be very difficult to exploit as being able to modify the Host header of a normal     HTTP request implies that one is already in a privileged position. This issue was fixed in version     22.10.0rc1. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-39348)
