Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Prior to version 23.10.0rc1, 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. Version 23.10.0rc1 contains a patch for this issue.

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

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:1067 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-41810:
    Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 24.7.0rc1.

    CVE-2024-41671:
    Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 24.7.0rc1.

    CVE-2023-46137:

    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.
