The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • python-werkzeug: cookie prefixed with = can shadow unprefixed cookie (CVE-2023-23934)

  • Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. If an upload of a file that starts with CR or LF and then is followed by megabytes of data without these characters: all of these bytes are appended chunk by chunk into internal bytearray and lookup for boundary is performed on growing buffer. This allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted multipart data to an endpoint that will parse it.
    The amount of CPU time required can block worker processes from handling legitimate requests. This vulnerability has been patched in version 3.0.1. (CVE-2023-46136)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
