[Ubuntu Security Notices](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices) 2. USN-6988-1 --- # USN-6988-1: Twisted vulnerabilities Publication date 4 September 2024 Overview Several security issues were fixed in Twisted. Releases [24.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=noble) [22.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=jammy) [20.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=focal) [18.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=bionic) [16.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=xenial) [14.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=trusty) --- Open side navigation ## Packages * [twisted](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=twisted) - Event-based framework for internet applications ## Details Ben Kallus discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled response order when processing multiple HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to delay and manipulate responses. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. ([CVE-2024-41671](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-41671)) It was discovered that Twisted did not properly sanitize certain input. An attacker could use this vulnerability to possibly execute an HTML injection leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
