CVE-2024-49769
Waitress is a Web Server Gateway Interface server for Python 2 and 3. 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. Waitress 3.0.1 contains fixes that remove the race condition.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Cuando un cliente remoto cierra la conexión antes de que waitress haya tenido la oportunidad de llamar a getpeername(), waitress no limpiará correctamente la conexión, lo que lleva al hilo principal a intentar escribir en un socket que ya no existe, pero no lo eliminará de la lista de sockets que se intentarán procesar. Esto conduce a un bucle de actividad que llama a la función de escritura. Un atacante remoto podría dejar a waitress sin sockets disponibles y requerir muy pocos recursos.
