{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53981","details":"python-multipart is a streaming multipart parser for Python. When parsing form data, python-multipart skips line breaks (CR \\r or LF \\n) in front of the first boundary and any tailing bytes after the last boundary. This happens one byte at a time and emits a log event each time, which may cause excessive logging for certain inputs. An attacker could abuse this by sending a malicious request with lots of data before the first or after the last boundary, causing high CPU load and stalling the processing thread for a significant amount of time. In case of ASGI application, this could stall the event loop and prevent other requests from being processed, resulting in a denial of service (DoS). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.0.18.","modified":"2026-09-15T09:03:16.521078614Z","published":"2024-12-02T16:15:14.457Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-53981"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-53981"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-multipart","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-multipart?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0.17-1","0.0.17-2","0.0.17-3","0.0.17-4","0.0.17-5","0.0.20-1","0.0.20-1.1","0.0.20-1.1~deb13u1","0.0.22-1","0.0.26-1","0.0.5-3","0.0.6-1","0.0.9-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53981.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-multipart","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-multipart?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.0.20-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53981.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-multipart","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-multipart?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.0.20-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53981.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
