Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.147822
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Twisted Web 21.7.0 < 22.2.0 DoS Vulnerability
Summary:Twisted Web is prone to a denial of service (DoS); vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Twisted Web is prone to a denial of service (DoS)
vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The Twisted SSH client and server implementation naively
accepted an infinite amount of data for the peer's SSH version identifier.

A malicious peer can trivially craft a request that uses all available memory and crash the
server, resulting in denial of service. The attack is as simple as nc -rv localhost 22 <
/dev/zero.

Affected Software/OS:
Twisted Web version 21.7.0 and later.

Solution:
Update to version 22.2.0 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
