{"id":"MGASA-2024-0388","summary":"Updated python-aiohttp packages fix security vulnerabilities","details":"When using aiohttp as a web server and configuring static routes, it is\nnecessary to specify the root path for static files. Additionally, the\noption 'follow_symlinks' can be used to determine whether to follow\nsymbolic links outside the static root directory. When 'follow_symlinks'\nis set to True, there is no validation to check if reading a file is\nwithin the root directory. This can lead to directory traversal\nvulnerabilities, resulting in unauthorized access to arbitrary files on\nthe system, even when symlinks are not present. Disabling\nfollow_symlinks and using a reverse proxy are encouraged mitigations.\nCVE-2024-23334\nThe Python parser parses newlines in chunk extensions incorrectly which\ncan lead to request smuggling vulnerabilities under certain conditions.\nIf a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual\nC extensions) or `AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS` is enabled, then an attacker\nmay be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain\nfirewalls or proxy protections.
