Possible shell escape sequence injection vulnerability in Rack

critical severity CVE-2022-30123
critical severity CVE-2022-30123
Patched versions: ~> 2.0.9, >= 2.0.9.1, ~> 2.1.4, >= 2.1.4.1, >= 2.2.3.1

There is a possible shell escape sequence injection vulnerability in the Lint and CommonLogger components of Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-30123.

Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 2.0.9.1, 2.1.4.1, 2.2.3.1

Impact

Carefully crafted requests can cause shell escape sequences to be written to the terminal via Rack's Lint middleware and CommonLogger middleware. These escape sequences can be leveraged to possibly execute commands in the victim's terminal.

Impacted applications will have either of these middleware installed, and vulnerable apps may have something like this:

use Rack::Lint

Or

use Rack::CommonLogger

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Workarounds

Remove these middleware from your application

Possible DoS Vulnerability in Multipart MIME parsing

high severity CVE-2023-27530
high severity CVE-2023-27530
Patched versions: ~> 2.0.9, >= 2.0.9.3, ~> 2.1.4, >= 2.1.4.3, ~> 2.2.6, >= 2.2.6.3, >= 3.0.4.2

There is a possible DoS vulnerability in the Multipart MIME parsing code in Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-27530.

Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 3.0.4.2, 2.2.6.3, 2.1.4.3, 2.0.9.3

Impact

The Multipart MIME parsing code in Rack limits the number of file parts, but does not limit the total number of parts that can be uploaded. Carefully crafted requests can abuse this and cause multipart parsing to take longer than expected.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Workarounds

A proxy can be configured to limit the POST body size which will mitigate this issue.

Denial of service via header parsing in Rack

high severity CVE-2022-44570
high severity CVE-2022-44570
Patched versions: ~> 2.0.9, >= 2.0.9.2, ~> 2.1.4, >= 2.1.4.2, ~> 2.2.6, >= 2.2.6.2, >= 3.0.4.1

There is a possible denial of service vulnerability in the Range header parsing component of Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-44570.

Versions Affected: >= 1.5.0 Not affected: None. Fixed Versions: 2.0.9.2, 2.1.4.2, 2.2.6.2, 3.0.4.1

Impact

Carefully crafted input can cause the Range header parsing component in Rack to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a denial of service attack vector. Any applications that deal with Range requests (such as streaming applications, or applications that serve files) may be impacted.

Workarounds

There are no feasible workarounds for this issue.

Denial of Service Vulnerability in Rack Multipart Parsing

high severity CVE-2022-30122
high severity CVE-2022-30122
Patched versions: ~> 2.0.9, >= 2.0.9.1, ~> 2.1.4, >= 2.1.4.1, >= 2.2.3.1
Unaffected versions: < 1.2

There is a possible denial of service vulnerability in the multipart parsing component of Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-30122.

Versions Affected: >= 1.2 Not affected: < 1.2 Fixed Versions: 2.0.9.1, 2.1.4.1, 2.2.3.1

Impact

Carefully crafted multipart POST requests can cause Rack's multipart parser to take much longer than expected, leading to a possible denial of service vulnerability.

Impacted code will use Rack's multipart parser to parse multipart posts. This includes directly using the multipart parser like this:

params = Rack::Multipart.parse_multipart(env)

But it also includes reading POST data from a Rack request object like this:

p request.POST # read POST data
p request.params # reads both query params and POST data

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Workarounds

There are no feasible workarounds for this issue.

Denial of Service Vulnerability in Rack Content-Type Parsing

medium severity CVE-2024-25126
medium severity CVE-2024-25126
Patched versions: ~> 2.2.8, >= 2.2.8.1, >= 3.0.9.1
Unaffected versions: < 0.4

There is a possible denial of service vulnerability in the content type parsing component of Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-25126.

Versions Affected: >= 0.4 Not affected: < 0.4 Fixed Versions: 3.0.9.1, 2.2.8.1

Impact

Carefully crafted content type headers can cause Rack’s media type parser to take much longer than expected, leading to a possible denial of service vulnerability.

Impacted code will use Rack’s media type parser to parse content type headers. This code will look like below:

request.media_type

## OR
request.media_type_params

## OR
Rack::MediaType.type(content_type)

Some frameworks (including Rails) call this code internally, so upgrading is recommended!

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

There is a possible denial of service vulnerability in the header parsing routines in Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26146.

Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 2.0.9.4, 2.1.4.4, 2.2.8.1, 3.0.9.1

Impact

Carefully crafted headers can cause header parsing in Rack to take longer than expected resulting in a possible denial of service issue. Accept and Forwarded headers are impacted.

Ruby 3.2 has mitigations for this problem, so Rack applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected.

Releases

Possible DoS Vulnerability with Range Header in Rack

low severity CVE-2024-26141
low severity CVE-2024-26141
Patched versions: ~> 2.2.8, >= 2.2.8.1, >= 3.0.9.1
Unaffected versions: < 1.3.0

There is a possible DoS vulnerability relating to the Range request header in Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26141.

Versions Affected: >= 1.3.0. Not affected: < 1.3.0 Fixed Versions: 3.0.9.1, 2.2.8.1

Impact

Carefully crafted Range headers can cause a server to respond with an unexpectedly large response. Responding with such large responses could lead to a denial of service issue.

Vulnerable applications will use the Rack::File middleware or the Rack::Utils.byte_ranges methods (this includes Rails applications).

Releases

The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
