Описание
NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a suite of open source Python modules, data sets, and tutorials supporting research and development in Natural Language Processing. In versions 3.9.3 and prior, nltk.app.wordnet_app allows unauthenticated remote shutdown of the local WordNet Browser HTTP server when it is started in its default mode. A simple GET /SHUTDOWN%20THE%20SERVER request causes the process to terminate immediately via os._exit(0), resulting in a denial of service. Commit bbaae83db86a0f49e00f5b0db44a7254c268de9b patches the issue.
A flaw was found in NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit), specifically in the nltk.app.wordnet_app component. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted GET request to the local WordNet Browser HTTP server when it is running in its default configuration. This action causes the server process to terminate immediately, leading to a denial of service.
Отчет
IMPORTANT: This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service in Red Hat products utilizing the NLTK WordNet Browser HTTP server. The vulnerability is exploitable when the server is running in its default configuration, allowing a specially crafted GET request to terminate the process.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, ensure that the NLTK WordNet Browser HTTP server (nltk.app.wordnet_app) is not exposed to untrusted networks. If the WordNet Browser functionality is not required, disable or remove the component. For deployments where the server is necessary, configure firewall rules to restrict access to trusted hosts only. A service restart may be required for changes to take effect.
