It was discovered that there was a HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in waitress, pure-Python WSGI server. If a proxy server is used in front of waitress, an invalid request . Package : waitress Version : 0.8.9-2+deb8u1 Debian Bug : #765126 It was discovered that there was a HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in waitress, pure-Python WSGI server. 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 request smuggling. Specially crafted requests containing special whitespace charactersin the Transfer-Encoding header would get parsed by Waitress as being a chunked request, but a front-end server would use the Content-Length instead as the Transfer-Encoding header is considered invalid due to containing invalid characters. 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 information disclosure. For Debian 8 "Jessie", this issue has been fixed in waitress version 0.8.9-2+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your waitress packages.
