 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4062-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb February 21, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : python-werkzeug Version : 1.0.1+dfsg1-2+deb11u2 CVE ID : CVE-2024-34069 Debian Bug : 1070711

 It was discovered that there was a potential remote code execution vulnerability in python-werkzeug, a library used to create WSGI-based web applications in Python.

 This attack required the attacker to manipulate a developer into interacting with a domain & subdomain they control as well as enter the debugger PIN. But if successful, it would have allowed full access to the debugger, even if the server was only running on localhost.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.1+dfsg1-2+deb11u2.

 We recommend that you upgrade your python-werkzeug packages.

 For the detailed security status of python-werkzeug please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-werkzeug

 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade the python-werkzeug-doc packages.
