GHSA-hc5x-x2vx-497g: gunicorn (CVE-2024-6827)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
gunicorn	PyPI	<22.0.0	22.0.0

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Gunicorn versions before 22.0.0 do not properly validate the Transfer-Encoding header, so requests can be handled using Content-Length instead, enabling TE.CL request smuggling. An attacker who can send HTTP requests through a proxy or front-end in front of Gunicorn could smuggle requests, which may enable cache poisoning, session manipulation, or security bypass. Upgrade to gunicorn 22.0.0 or later. The source gives few details on specific exploitation conditions.
