Description

The remote Fedora 39 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-6c030b3c71 advisory.

 - ## `python-starlette` 0.25.0 ### Fixed - Limit the number of fields and files when parsing `multipart/form-data` on the `MultipartParser` ## `python-fastapi` 0.92.0 This is a security fix.
 Please upgrade as soon as possible. ### Upgrades * Upgrade Starlette to 0.25.0. * This solves a vulnerability that could allow denial of service attacks by using many small multipart fields/files (parts), consuming high CPU and memory. * Only applications using forms (e.g. file uploads) could be affected. * For most cases, upgrading won't have any breaking changes.

Solution

Update the affected python-fastapi and / or python-starlette packages.
