Debian 9 DLA-2531-1 Moderate: Python-Bottle Web Cache Poisoning

debian lts
Calendar Grey January 24, 2021
Dist Debian Esm H88
To mitigate the Web Cache Poisoning vulnerability in python-bottle on Debian LTS, users must quickly upgrade their package using the package manager to ensure security
The package src:python-bottle before 0.12.19 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning by using a vector called parameter cloaking

Summary

When the attacker can separate query parameters using a
semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation
of the request between the proxy (running with default configuration)
and the server. This can result in malicious requests being cached
as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the
semicolon as a separator, and therefore would not include it in a
cache key of an unkeyed parameter.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
0.12.13-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-bottle packages.
