Oracle Linux: CVE-2023-23934: ELSA-2023-12709: python-werkzeug security update (LOW) (Multiple Advisories)

Description

Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Browsers may allow "nameless" cookies that look like `=value` instead of `key=value`. A vulnerable browser may allow a compromised application on an adjacent subdomain to exploit this to set a cookie like `=__Host-test=bad` for another subdomain. Werkzeug prior to 2.2.3 will parse the cookie `=__Host-test=bad` as __Host-test=bad`. If a Werkzeug application is running next to a vulnerable or malicious subdomain which sets such a cookie using a vulnerable browser, the Werkzeug application will see the bad cookie value but the valid cookie key. The issue is fixed in Werkzeug 2.2.3. A flaw was found in python-werkzeug. Browsers may allow "nameless" cookies like =value instead of key=value. A vulnerable browser may allow a compromised application on an adjacent subdomain to exploit this to set a cookie for another subdomain. If a Werkzeug application is running next to a vulnerable or malicious subdomain that sets such a cookie using a vulnerable browser, the Werkzeug application will see the bad cookie value but the valid cookie key.
