Flask, a micro web framework for Python contains a CWE-20: Improper Input Validation vulnerability that can result in Large amount of memory usage possibly leading to denial of service. This attack appear to be exploitable via Attacker provides JSON data in incorrect encoding.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 0.10.1-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your flask packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
