How to fix?

Upgrade waitress to version 1.4.2 or higher.

Overview

waitress is a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. Potential HTTP pipelining issues and request smuggling attacks might be possible due to waitress not correctly responding to HTTP requests.

Note: An incomplete fix was released in version 1.4.1.
