Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ceph Storage 7.1 security, bug fix, and enhancement updates

Important

A flaw was found in python-werkzeug. Browsers may allow "nameless" cookies like =value instead of key=value. A vulnerable browser may allow a compromised application on an adjacent subdomain to exploit this to set a cookie for another subdomain. If a Werkzeug application is running next to a vulnerable or malicious subdomain that sets such a cookie using a vulnerable browser, the Werkzeug application will see the bad cookie value but the valid cookie key.

CWE-20 - Improper Input Validation

A flaw was found in python-werkzeug. Werkzeug is multipart form data parser, that will parse an unlimited number of parts, including file parts. These parts can be a small amount of bytes, but each requires CPU time to parse, and may use more memory as Python data. If a request can be made to an endpoint that accesses request.data, request.form, request.files, or request.get_data(parse_form_data=False), it can cause unexpectedly high resource usage, allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted multipart data to an endpoint that will parse it. The amount of CPU time required can block worker processes from handling legitimate requests, and if many concurrent requests are sent continuously, this can exhaust or kill all available workers.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in python-synch before the 2.14.1 versions, where the client can log in to the attacker's account without the client being able to detect this. This flaw allows an attacker to control the remote end of the SSH session completely, resulting in a complete break of the confidentiality and integrity of the secure channel, which could cause more issues depending on the application logic implemented by the AsyncSSH server.

CWE-372 - Incomplete Internal State Distinction
