Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 40 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-f2bb9ee617 advisory.

- ## python-aiohttp 3.8.6 (2023-10-07) https://github.com/aio- libs/aiohttp/blob/v3.8.6/CHANGES.rst#386-2023-10-07 ### Security bugfixes - Upgraded `llhttp` to v9.1.3:
https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/security/advisories/GHSA-pjjw-qhg8-p2p9 - Updated Python parser to comply with RFCs 9110/9112: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/security/advisories/GHSA-gfw2-4jvh-wgfg ### Deprecation - Added `fallback_charset_resolver` parameter in `ClientSession` to allow a user-supplied character set detection function. Character set detection will no longer be included in 3.9 as a default.
If this feature is needed, please use [`fallback_charset_resolver`](https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_advanced.html#character-set- detection). ### Features - Enabled lenient response parsing for more flexible parsing in the client (this should resolve some regressions when dealing with badly formatted HTTP responses). ### Bugfixes - Fixed `PermissionError` when `.netrc` is unreadable due to permissions. - Fixed output of parsing errors pointing to a `\n`. - Fixed `GunicornWebWorker` max_requests_jitter not working. - Fixed sorting in `filter_cookies` to use cookie with longest path. - Fixed display of `BadStatusLine` messages from `llhttp`. ---- ## llhttp 9.1.3 ### Fixes - Restart the parser on HTTP 100 - Fix chunk extensions quoted-string value parsing - Fix lenient_flags truncated on reset - Fix chunk extensions parameters parsing when more then one name-value pair provided ## llhttp 9.1.2 ### What's Changed - Fix HTTP 1xx handling ## llhttp 9.1.1 ### What's Changed - feat: Expose new lenient methods ## llhttp 9.1.0 ### What's Changed - New lenient flag to make CR completely optional - New lenient flag to have spaces after chunk header (FEDORA-2023-f2bb9ee617)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
