Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4780-1 [email protected]

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : urwid
Version : 2.1.2-4+deb12u1
CVE ID : CVE-2026-9323
The urwid web display backend generates web session identifiers by
concatenating two random.randrange(10**9) calls that use Python's
Mersenne Twister PRNG, which is not cryptographically secure. The same
identifier is also used as the filename of a FIFO created in the
world-listable /tmp directory, so any local user on the host can list
/tmp to enumerate active session tokens directly. With a valid session
ID, an attacker can read the victim's terminal screen via the polling
endpoint, inject keystrokes into the victim's session, and inject exit
sequences or flood the FIFO to terminate or crash the session.
For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
2.1.2-4+deb12u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your urwid packages.
