Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0083)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-waitress' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0083 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-waitress' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0083 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated python-waitress packages fix security vulnerabilities: If a front-end server does not parse header fields with an LF the same way as it does those with a CRLF it can lead to the front-end and the back-end server parsing the same HTTP message in two different ways. This can lead to a potential for HTTP request smuggling/splitting whereby Waitress may see two requests while the front-end server only sees a single HTTP message (CVE-2019-16785). Waitress through version 1.3.1 would parse the Transfer-Encoding header and only look for a single string value, if that value was not chunked it would fall through and use the Content-Length header instead. This could allow for Waitress to treat a single request as multiple requests in the case of HTTP pipelining (CVE-2019-16786). In Waitress through version 1.4.0, if a proxy server is used in front of waitress, an invalid request may be sent by an attacker that bypasses the front-end and is parsed differently by waitress leading to a potential for HTTP request smuggling. If a front-end server does HTTP pipelining to a backend Waitress server this could lead to HTTP request splitting which may lead to potential cache poisoning or unexpected information disclosure (CVE-2019-16789). Affected Software/OS: 'python-waitress' package(s) on Mageia 7. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.4 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
