Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43859)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests in h11/_readers.py. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


2) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9840)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in zlib due to out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in inftrees.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, and cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13790)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in get_rgb_row() in rdppm.c via a malformed PPM input file. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.


4) Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52005)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling ANSI escape sequences in messages  passed via sideband channel. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted messages to the terminal and potentially execute untrusted scripts.


5) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-3576)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of RC4-HMAC-MD algorithm for GSSAPI-protected messages. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-26699)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in django.utils.text.wrap() and wordwrap template filter. A remote attacker can pass very long strings to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
