Overview

gunicorn is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. It fails to properly process the Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length headers when both are present in a package request. This allows for conflicting information to be sent regarding the length of the package, which when processed by back-end servers under certain configurations would allow for malicious users to bypass security controls, gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, and directly compromise other application users.
