Package        : graphite-web
Version        : 0.9.12+debian-6+deb8u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2017-18638


The 'send_email' function in graphite-web/webapp/graphite/composer/views.py
in Graphite is vulnerable to SSRF. The vulnerable SSRF endpoint can be used
by an attacker to have the Graphite web server request any resource.
The response to this SSRF request is encoded into an image file and then sent
to an e-mail address that can be supplied by the attacker. Thus, an attacker
can exfiltrate any information.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
0.9.12+debian-6+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphite-web packages.
