Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2024-0351)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-werkzeug' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0351 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-werkzeug' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0351 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Werkzeug is a Web Server Gateway Interface web application library. Applications using `werkzeug.formparser.MultiPartParser` corresponding to a version of Werkzeug prior to 3.0.6 to parsing `multipart/form-data` requests (e.g. all flask applications) are vulnerable to a relatively simple but effective resource exhaustion (denial of service) attack. A specifically crafted form submission request can cause the parser to allocate and block 3 to 8 times the upload size in main memory. There is no upper limit, a single upload at 1 Gbit/s can exhaust 32 GB of RAM in less than 60 seconds. Werkzeug version 3.0.6 fixes this issue. Affected Software/OS: 'python-werkzeug' package(s) on Mageia 9. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
