python-multipart vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Python-Multipart.

Software Description:
- python-multipart: A streaming multipart parser for Python.

Details:

It was discovered that Python-Multipart incorrectly handled certain 
regular expressions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
Python-Multipart to consume excessive resources, leading to a regular 
expression denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
(CVE-2024-24762)

It was discovered that Python-Multipart did not properly sanitize line
breaks during user input. An attacker could use this issue to send 
arbitrary input, thus preventing other requests from being processed, 
resulting in a denial of service. This issue was only fixed in 
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-53981)

It was discovered that Python-Multipart was vulnerable to path traversal
attacks. An attacker could possibly craft and upload files outside the 
target directory, resulting in remote code execution. (CVE-2026-24486)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  python3-multipart               0.0.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  python3-multipart               0.0.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
