Summary
it was discovered that Twisted incorrectly validated or sanitized certain
URIs or HTTP methods. A remote attacker could use this issue to inject
invalid characters and possibly perform header injection attacks.
(CVE-2019-12387)
It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly verified XMPP TLS certificates.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a
machine-in-the-middle attack and obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2019-12855)
It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled HTTP/2 connections. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Twisted to hang or
consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 19.10. (CVE-2019-9512, CVE-2019-9514,
CVE-2019-9515)
Jake Miller and ZeddYu Lu discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled
certain content-length headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to perform HTTP request splitting attacks. (CVE-2020-10108,
CVE-2020-10109)

Vulnerabilities 7
-
Critical 9.8
Improper Input Validation in Twisted
In Twisted Web through 19.10.0, there was an HTTP request splitting vulnerability. When presented with two content-length headers, it ignored the first header. When the second content-length value was set to zero, the request body was interpreted as a pipelin…

HTTP Request Smuggling in Twisted
In Twisted Web through 19.10.0, there was an HTTP request splitting vulnerability. When presented with a content-length and a chunked encoding header, the content-length took precedence and the remainder of the request body was interpreted as a pipelined requ…

High 7.5CVE-2019-9512 EPSS 83%
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is qu…

High 7.5CVE-2019-9514 EPSS 83%
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood, potentially leading to a denial of service
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depe…

High 7.5CVE-2019-9515 EPSS 87%
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service
Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an …

High 7.4
Improper Certificate Validation in Twisted
In words.protocols.jabber.xmlstream in Twisted through 19.2.1, XMPP support did not verify certificates when used with TLS, allowing an attacker to MITM connections.
-
Medium 6.1
Twisted CRLF Injection
In Twisted before 19.2.1, twisted.web did not validate or sanitize URIs or HTTP methods, allowing an attacker to inject invalid characters such as CRLF.
