A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.Description:Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless language.Security Fix(es):* python3-gitpython/python39-gitpython: Blind local file inclusion (CVE-2023-41040)* python3-twisted/python39-twisted: disordered HTTP pipeline response in twisted.web (CVE-2023-46137)For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.Additional changes:* python3-dynaconf/python39-dynaconf has been updated to 3.1.12-2* python3-gitpython/python39-gitpython has been updated to 3.1.40* python3-twisted/python39-twisted has been updated to 23.10.0Solution:CVEs:CVE-2023-41040References:https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderatehttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2246264https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2247040Related news

Ubuntu Security Notice 6575-1 - It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly escaped host headers in certain 404 responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTML and script injection attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled response order when processing multiple HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to delay responses and manipulate the responses of second requests.

### Summary When sending multiple HTTP requests in one TCP packet, twisted.web will process the requests asynchronously without guaranteeing the response order. ### Details There's an example faulty program: ```python from twisted.internet import reactor, endpoints from twisted.web import server from twisted.web.proxy import ReverseProxyResource from twisted.web.resource import Resource class Second(Resource): isLeaf = True def render_GET(self, request): return b'SECOND\n' class First(Resource): isLeaf = True def render_GET(self, request): def send_response(): request.write(b'FIRST DELAYED\n') request.finish() reactor.callLater(0.5, send_response) return server.NOT_DONE_YET root = Resource() root.putChild(b'second', Second()) root.putChild(b'first', First()) endpoint = endpoints.TCP4ServerEndpoint(reactor, 8080) endpoint.listen(server.Site(root)) reactor.run() ``` When two requests for `/first` and `/second` ...
Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Prior to version 23.10.0rc1, when sending multiple HTTP requests in one TCP packet, twisted.web will process the requests asynchronously without guaranteeing the response order. If one of the endpoints is controlled by an attacker, the attacker can delay the response on purpose to manipulate the response of the second request when a victim launched two requests using HTTP pipeline. Version 23.10.0rc1 contains a patch for this issue.
GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. In order to resolve some git references, GitPython reads files from the `.git` directory, in some places the name of the file being read is provided by the user, GitPython doesn't check if this file is located outside the `.git` directory. This allows an attacker to make GitPython read any file from the system. This vulnerability is present in https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/blob/1c8310d7cae144f74a671cbe17e51f63a830adbf/git/refs/symbolic.py#L174-L175. That code joins the base directory with a user given string without checking if the final path is located outside the base directory. This vulnerability cannot be used to read the contents of files but could in theory be used to trigger a denial of service for the program. This issue has not yet been addressed.
