Overview

eventlet is a Highly concurrent networking library

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via improper handling of HTTP trailer sections in the wsgi parser. An attacker can bypass front-end security controls, launch targeted attacks against active site users, and poison web caches by sending specially crafted HTTP requests.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by not using the eventlet.wsgi process to face untrusted clients.
