How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 python-daphne to version 4.1.2-2+deb13u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-daphne package and not the python-daphne package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

daphne before 4.2.2 reconstructs a raw HTTP request from Twisted's parsed headers and feeds it to autobahn for WebSocket handshake processing. Twisted does not treat \x0b, \x0c, \x1c, \x1d, \x1e, or \x85 as header line separators, but autobahn decodes header values to str and calls splitlines(). An attacker can exploit this parser differential to inject additional headers into the ASGI scope passed to the application. daphne now rejects requests with these bytes in any header value with a 400 response.
