GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2024-49769

Impact

When a remote client closes the connection before waitress has had the opportunity to call getpeername() waitress won't correctly clean up the connection leading to the main thread attempting to write to a socket that no longer exists, but not removing it from the list of sockets to attempt to process. This leads to a busy-loop calling the write function.

A remote attacker could run waitress out of available sockets with very little resources required.

Patches

Waitress 3.0.1 contains fixes that remove the race condition.

Workarounds

No work-around.

CVE-2024-49768

Impact

A remote client may send a request that is exactly recv_bytes (defaults to 8192) long, followed by a secondary request using HTTP pipelining.

When request lookahead is disabled (default) we won't read any more requests, and when the first request fails due to a parsing error, we simply close the connection.

However when request lookahead is enabled, it is possible to process and receive the first request, start sending the error message back to the client while we read the next request and queue it. This will allow the secondary request to be serviced by the worker thread while the connection should be closed.

Patches

Waitress 3.0.1 fixes the race condition.

Workarounds

Disable channel_request_lookahead, this is set to 0 by default disabling this feature. For this vulnerability this value is required to be changed from the default.
