Alpine: multiple py3-aiohttp packages: security update to 3.9.3-r0
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 426786
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. When using aiohttp as a
web server and configuring static routes, it is necessary to specify the root path for static files.
Additionally, the option 'follow_symlinks' can be used to determine whether to follow symbolic links
outside the static root directory. When 'follow_symlinks' is set to True, there is no validation to check
if reading a file is within the root directory. This can lead to directory traversal vulnerabilities,
resulting in unauthorized access to arbitrary files on the system, even when symlinks are not present.
Disabling follow_symlinks and using a reverse proxy are encouraged mitigations. Version 3.9.2 fixes this
issue. (CVE-2024-23334)
- aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. Security-sensitive parts
of the Python HTTP parser retained minor differences in allowable character sets, that must trigger error
handling to robustly match frame boundaries of proxies in order to protect against injection of additional
requests. Additionally, validation could trigger exceptions that were not handled consistently with
processing of other malformed input. Being more lenient than internet standards require could, depending
on deployment environment, assist in request smuggling. The unhandled exception could cause excessive
resource consumption on the application server and/or its logging facilities. This vulnerability exists
due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-47627. Version 3.9.2 fixes this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-23829)
